The Phantom Of The Opera - Wandering Child Lyrics

The PHANTOM emerges from behind the cross)

PHANTOM (very soft and enticing)
Wandering child, so lost,
so helpless,
yearning for my guidance

(Bewildered, CHRISTINE looks up, and murmurs
breathlessly):
CHRISTINE
Angel or father,
friend or Phantom?
Who is it there,
staring?

PHANTOM (more and more hypnotic)
Have you
forgotten your Angel ?

CHRISTINE
Angel oh, speak
What endless longings,
Echo in this
whisper !

(RAOUL appears in the shadows and watches for a
moment transfixed)

PHANTOM (now drawing CHRISTINE towards him)
Too long you've wandered
in winter . . .

RAOUL (to himself a murmur)
Once again
she is his . . .

PHANTOM
Far from my
far-reaching gaze . . .

RAOUL
Once again
she returns . . .

CHRISTINE (increasingly mesmerized)
Wildly my mind
beats against you . . .

PHANTOM
You resist . . .

PHANTOM/CHRISTINE
Yet your/the soul
obeys . . .

RAOUL
. . . to the arms
of her angel . . .
angel or demon . . .
still he calls her . . .
luring her back, from the grave . . .
angel or dark seducer . . .?
Who are you, strange
angel . . .?

PHANTOM
Angel of Music!
You denied me,
turning from true beauty . . .
Angel of Music!
Do not shun me . . .
Come to your strange
Angel . . .

CHRISTINE
Angel of Music!
I denied you,
turning from true beauty . . .
Angel of Music!
My protector . . .
Come to me, strange
Angel . . .

(CHRISTINE moves towards the figure of the
PHANTOM)

PHANTOM (beckoning her)
I am your Angel of Music . . .
Come to me: Angel of Music . . .

RAOUL (suddenly calling out)
Angel of darkness!
Cease this torment!
(Inexorably the PHANTOM continues to beckon
CHRISTINE)

PHANTOM
I am your Angel of Music . . .
Come to me: Angel of Music . . .

RAOUL (in desperation)
Christine! Christine listen to me!
Whatever you may believe, this man . . .
this thing . . . is not your father!

(to the PHANTOM)
Let her go! For God's sake, let her go! Christine !

(Coming out of her trance CHRISTINE turns and
mouths the words):

CHRISTINE
Raoul . .
