All I Ask of You

(From The Phantom of the Opera)



- Raoul

No more talk of darkness,

forget these wide-eyed fears;

I'm here, nothing can harm you,

my words will warm and calm you.

Let me be your freedom,

let daylight dry your tears;

I'm here, with you, beside you,

to guard you and to guide you.



- Christine

Say you'll love me every waking moment;

turn my head with talk of summertime.

Say you need me with you now and always;

promise me that all you say is true,

that's all I ask of you.



- Raoul

Let me be your shelter,

let me be your light;

you're safe, no one will find you,

your fears are far behind you.



- Christine

All I want is freedom,

a world with no more night;

and you, always beside me,

to hold me and to hide me.



- Raoul

Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;

let me lead you from you solitude.

Say you want me with you, here beside you,

anywhere you go, let me go too,

that's all I ask of you.



- Christine

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.



- Together

Say the word and I will follow you.

Share each day with me, each night, each morning.



- Christine

Say you love me...



- Raoul

You know I do.



- Together

Love me, that's all I ask of you.

Love me...

that's all I ask of you.
