CHRISTINE
Once upon another time, our story had only begun
You chose to turn the page, and I made choices too

Once upon that other time, we did what we thought must be done
And now we have no choice, we do what we must do

We love, we live, we give what we can give
And take what little we deserve

PHANTOM
Once upon another time, I knew how our story would end
And maybe I was wrong, but now the moment's gone

Were it still that other time, I'd make time itself somehow bend
But now I'm not that strong, and time keeps moving on

BOTH
We love, we live, we give what we can give
And take what little we deserve
We love, we live, we give what we can give
And take what little we deserve
Once upon another time

PHANTOM
Ten Long Years of Yearning
Years of dreaming of this moment
When that miracle, that peerless [bad word] Plays for me, just fleetingly
Lays the ghost which tortures me, tortures me
Ah, Christine

I know what Hammerstein is paying you, I will double the amount for just one night's work. One night here in my concert hall.

CHRISTINE
No!

PHANTOM
Just one night Christine! One song, that is all I ask.

CHRISTINE
Why should I? For ten years you've let me believe you were dead! And now you lure us here and expect me to do you're bidding, submit to you again... I won't do it! I owe you nothing!
