Beneath a Moonless Sky

FYI: P is Phantom, is Christine, and is both.

C: I should have known that you’d be here
I should have known it all along
This whole arrangement bears your stamp
You’re in each measure of that song.
How dare you try and claim me now?
How dare [bad word] invade my life?

P: Oh, Christine. My Christine.
In that time when the world thought me dead
My Christine, on that night just before you were wed
Ah, Christine. You came and found where I hid
Don’t you deny that you did, that long ago night

C: That night...

P: Once there was a night, beneath a moonless sky
Too dark to see a thing, too dark to even try

C: I strode to your side to tell you I must go
I couldn’t see your face, but sensed you even so
And I touched you,

P: And I felt you
B: And I heard those ravishing refrains
C: The music of the past
P: The singing of your veins
C: And I held you
P: And I touched you
C: And embraced you
P: And I felt you
B: And with every breath and every sigh
C: I felt no longer scared
P: I felt no longer shy
Both: At last our feelings bared beneath a moonless sky

C: And blind in the dark, as soul gazed into soul
I looked into your heart and saw you pure and whole

P: Cloaked under the night with nothing to suppress
woman and a man
No more, and yet no less
And I kissed you
C: And caressed you
Both: And the world around just fell way. 
We said things in the dark we never dared to say.
P: And I caught you
C: And I kissed you
P: And I took you
C: And caressed you
Both: With a need to blatant to deny
And nothing mattered then
Except for you and I
Again and then again beneath a moonless sky

P: And when it was done
Before the sun could rise
Ashamed of what I was, afraid to see your eyes
I stood while you slept and whispered a goodbye
And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky

C: And I loved you, yes I loved you
I’d have followed anywhere you left
I woke to swear my love 
and found you gone instead

P: And I loved you and I left you
C: How I loved you!
P: And I had you, both of us knew why
C: We both knew why
Both: And yet I won’t regret from now until I die
The night I can’t forget 
Beneath a moonless sky

P: And now
C: How can you talk of now?
For us, there is no now.
