The Phantom of the Opera Lyrics: Angel of Music

The Phantom of the Opera: Lyrics for “The Phantom of the Opera”

PHANTOM
Bravi, bravi, bravissimi

MEG
Christine, Christine

PHANTOM
Christine

MEG
Where in the world have you been hiding
Really, you were perfect
I only wish I knew your secret
Who is your great tutor

CHRISTINE
Meg
When your mother brought me here to live
Whenever I’d come down here alone
To light a candle for my father
A voice from above
And in my dreams
He was always there
You see, when my father lay dying
He told me I will be protected by an angel
An angel of music

MEG
Christine, do you believe?
Do you think the spirit of your father is coaching you?

CHRISTINE
who else, meg?
Father once spoke of an angel
I used to dream he’d appear
Now as I sing, I can sense him
And I know he’s here
Here in this room he calls me softly
Somewhere inside hiding
Somehow I know he’s always with me
He, the unseen genius

MEG
Christine, you must have been dreaming
Stories like this can’t come true
Christine, you are talking in riddles
And it’s not like you

CHRISTINE
Angel of Music
Guide and guardian
Grant to me your glory

MEG
Who is this angel
This…

BOTH
Angel of Music
Hide no longer
Secret and strange angel

CHRISTINE
He’s with me, even now

MEG
Your hands are cold

CHRISTINE
All around me

MEG
Your face, Christine, is white

CHRISTINE
It frightens me

MEG
Don’t be frightened

MME. GIRY
No, no
You did very well, my dear
He’s pleased with you

FIRMIN
Ah, Vicomte, vicomte I think we’ve made
quite a discovery with Miss Daae

ANDRE
Perhaps we can present her to you,

FIRMIN
dear Vicomte

RAOUL
Gentlemen, if you wouldn’t mind, this is one
visit I should prefer to make unaccompanied.
Thank you

FIRMIN
It would appear they’ve met before

ANDRE
Yes
