The Phantom of the Opera movie - Wandering Child lyrics
rate meSong by Andrew Llyod Webber<br /><br>
The PHANTOM emerges from behind the cross)<br>
PHANTOM (very soft and enticing)<br>
Wandering child . . .<br>
So lost . . .<br>
So helpless . . .<br>
Yearning for my<br>
Guidance . . .<br>
<br>
(Bewildered, CHRISTINE looks up, and murmurs<br>
breathlessly):<br>
<br>
CHRISTINE<br>
Angel . . . or father . . .<br>
Friend . . . or<br>
Phantom . . . ?<br>
Who is it there,<br>
Staring . . . ?<br>
<br>
PHANTOM (more and more hypnotic)<br>
Have you forgotten your Angel . . .?<br>
<br>
CHRISTINE<br>
Angel . . . oh, speak . . .<br>
What endless longings<br>
Echo in this whisper . . .!<br>
<br>
(RAOUL appears in the shadows and watches for a moment transfixed)<br>
<br>
PHANTOM (now drawing CHRISTINE towards him)<br>
Too long you've wandered in winter . . .<br>
RAOUL (to himself a murmur)<br>
Once again<br>
She is his . . .<br>
<br>
PHANTOM<br>
Far from my far-reaching gaze . . .<br>
<br>
RAOUL<br>
Once again she returns . . .<br>
<br>
CHRISTINE (increasingly mesmerized)<br>
Wildly my mind beats against you . . .<br>
<br>
PHANTOM<br>
You resist . . .<br>
<br>
PHANTOM/CHRISTINE<br>
Yet your/the soul <br>
Obeys . . .<br>
<br>
RAOUL<br>
. . . to the arms<br>
Of her angel . . .<br>
Angel or demon . . .<br>
Still he calls her . . .<br>
Luring her back, from the grave . . .<br>
Angel or dark seducer . . .?<br>
Who are you, strange<br>
Angel . . .?<br>
<br>
PHANTOM<br>
Angel of Music!<br>
You denied me/I denied you<br>
Turning from true beauty . . .<br>
Angel of Music!<br>
Do not shun me/My protector . . .<br>
Come to your strange<br>
Angel . . .<br>
<br>
CHRISTINE<br>
Angel of Music!<br>
<br>
(CHRISTINE moves towards the figure of the<br>
PHANTOM)<br>
<br>
PHANTOM (beckoning her)<br>
I am your Angel of Music . . .<br>
Come to me: Angel of Music . . .<br>
<br>
RAOUL (suddenly calling out)<br>
Angel of darkness!<br>
Cease this torment!<br>
<br>
(Inexorably the PHANTOM continues to beckon<br>
CHRISTINE)<br>
<br>
PHANTOM<br>
I am your Angel of Music . . .<br>
Come to me: Angel of Music . . .<br>
<br>
RAOUL (in desperation)<br>
Christine! Christine listen to me!<br>
Whatever you may believe, this man . . .<br>
this thing . . . is not your father!<br>
(to the PHANTOM)<br>
Let her go! For God's sake, let her go! Christine !<br>
(Coming out of her trance CHRISTINE turns and<br>
mouths the words):<br>
<br>
CHRISTINE<br>
Raoul . .<br>
