The Phantom Confronts Christine

歌詞

Gustave, it's alright, it's me Gustave, please take him away I'm so sorry Please forgive him, he meant no harm How could you think I wouldn't guess? What do you mean? How could you think I wouldn't know? Oh, no Do you have something to confess? Please don't make me I want the truth right now, if so Once upon another time You went off and left me alone But that's not all you did You left me with a son Ever since that other time I wished, how I wished you'd have known I kept the secret hid, the secret my marriage forbid What else could I have done? Just live Our son Just live My son Just give what I could give And take what little I deserve My own flesh and blood And even he recoils in horror from me Just like his mother Forgive me, I beg you, if you can I've brought you nothing but woe Tomorrow night, I'll sing with all my might Sing for you again, then we'll go From out of ugliness, such light From out of darkness, such a flame In him, my wrongness is made right And yet he loathes me just the same So let him shun me in disgust Let him flee this cursed face If I must hide from him, I must Yet shall he be my saving grace Oh, Christine, my Christine If it's true, I've no reason to live Then, Christine, then our boy Shall have all I can give Ah, Christine All I create on this earth All that I'll never be worth All shall be his Ten long years and he casts us aside Ten whole years, this is how we're repaid Ten dark years of toil and tears And now what we've worked for will go to that child All our hopes were at last in our grasp All the dreams and the plans that we laid Everything is vanishing And we get discarded, rejected, reviled All of the bonds in between is now torn All of the love that we gave him was worn All would be ours If that bastard had never been born
