Andrew Lloyd Webber - The Beauty Underneath lyrics

rate me

Phantom: Have you ever yearned to go

Past the world you think you know

Been enthralled to the call

To the beauty underneath

Have you let it draw you in

Past the place where dreams begin

Felt the full breathless pull

Of the beauty underneath

When the dark unfolds its wings

Do you sense the strangest things

Things no one would ever guess

Things mere words cannot express

Gustave: Yes.

Phantom: Do you find yourself beguiled

By the dangerous and wild

Do you feed on the need for the beauty underneath

Have you felt your senses surge

And surrender to the urge

And been hooked as you looked

At the beauty underneath

When you star behind the night

Can you glimpse its primal might

Might you hunger to possess

Hunger that you can’t repress

Gustave: Yes

It seems so beautiful

So strange yet beautiful

Everything’s just as you said

Phantom: And he’s so beautiful

Perhaps too beautiful

What I suspect cannot be

And yet somehow we both see

The very same way

Gustave: Is there music in your head

Have you followed where it led?

And be graced with the taste of the beauty underneath

Does it fill your every sense

Is it terribly intense

Tell me you need it too

Need the beauty underneath

Phantom and Gustave: When he lifts his voice and sings,

Don’t you feel amazing things?

Things you know you can’t confess

Things you thirst for, nonetheless

Gustave: It soars so beautiful

Phantom: Can it be?

Gustave: Almost too beautiful.

Phantom and Gustave: Do you see what I see?

Gustave: Heavenly.

Phantom: To him it’s beautiful

My world is beautiful

Gustave: How can this be what it seems?

Phantom and Gustave: All of my most secret dreams

Somehow set free

Phantom: You can feel it

Gustave: Yes.

Phatnom: Come closer

Gustave: Yes.

Phantom: You’ve no fear of the beauty underneath.

You can face it

Gustave: Yes.

Phantom: You can take it

Gustave: Yes!

Phantom: You see through

Phantom and Gustave: To the beauty underneath

Phantom: To the splendor

Gustave: The splendor

Phantom: And the glory

Gustave: And the glory

Phatnom: To the truth of the beauty underneath

Gustave: The beauty underneath

Phantom: You accept it

Gustave: Yes!

Phantom: You embrace it.

Gustave: Yes.

Phantom: Let me show you the beauty underneath

To the splendor

Gustave: To the splendor

Phantom: And the glory

Gustave: And the glory

Phantom: To the truth of the beauty underneath

Gustave: Beauty underneath

Phantom: You accept it

Gustave: Yes.

Phantom: You embrace it

Gustave: Yes.

Phantom: Let me show you the beauty under-

Gustave: *scream*
