Beneath A Moonless Sky Australia

Christine:
So it was all an empty lie,
One final lie to fool us all,
To make your death a story's end,
To put your life beyond recall.

How dare you come and claim me now,
invade my life, ensnare my voice,

Phantom:
If you could know the pain I'd known,
Then you would know I had no choice,

My Christine

Christine:
Your Christine!,
I was yours one brief night long ago,
Long ago, with a man that I no longer know

Phantom:
Ah Christine,
You came and found where I hid,
Don't you deny that you did,
That long ago night.

Once there was a night,
Beneath a moonless sky,
Too dark to see a thing,
Too dark to even try.

Christine:
I stole to your side,
Tormented by my choice,
I couldn't see your face,
Yet trembled at your voice

And I touched you

Phantom:
And I felt you

Both:
And I heard those ravishing refrains

Christine:
The music of your pulse

Phantom:
The singing in your veins

Christine:
And I held you

Phantom:
And I touched you

Christine:
And embraced you

Phantom:
And I felt you

Both:
And with every breath and every sigh

Christine:
I felt no longer scared

Phantom:
I felt no longer shy

Both:
At last our feelings bared,
Beneath a moonless sky

Christine:
And blind in the dark,
A soul gazed into soul,
I looked into your heart
And saw you pure and whole

Phantom:
Cloaked under the night,
with nothing to suppress,
A woman and a man,
no more and yet no less.

And i kissed you,

Christine:
And caressed you,

Both:
And the world around us fell away,
We said things in the dark we never dared to say.

Phantom:
And I caught you,

Christine:
And I kissed you,

Phantom:
And I took you.

Christine:
And i begged you.

Both:
With a need too urgent to deny,
And nothing mattered then except for you and I
Again and then again,
Beneath a moonless sky

Phantom:
And when it was done,
Before the sun could rise,
Ashamed of what i was,
Afraid to see your eyes.

I stood while you slept,
And whispered our goodbyes
And slipped into the dark,
Beneath a moonless sky.

Christine:
And I loved you,
Yes I loved you,
I'd have followed anywhere you lead,
I woke to swear my love,
And found you gone instead.

Phantom:
And I loved you

Christine:
And I loved you

Phantom:
And I left you

Christine:
How i loved you

Phantom:
And i had to both of us knew why

Christine:
We both knew why

Both:
And yet I wont regret,
From now until I die,
The night I can't forget,
Beneath a moonless sky
