Think of Me (From The Phantom of the Opera)
(The introduction is played on the piano)
CARLOTTA
Think of me,
think of me fondly,
when we've said
goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while -
please promise me
you'll try.
When you find
that, once
again, you long
to take your heart...
(As CARLOTTA is singing, a backdrop crashes to the floor,
cutting her off from half the cast)
He's here:
the Phantom of the Opera...
He is with us...
It's the ghost...
MEG (looking up)
He's there: the Phantom of the
Opera...
ANDRÉ
Good heavens!
Will you show a little courtesy?
FIRMIN (to MEG and the OTHERS)
Mademoiselle, please!
ANDRÉ (to CARLOTTA)
These things do happen.
CARLOTTA
Si! These things do happen! Well, until you stop
these things happening, this thing does not happen!
MEG
Christine Daaé could sing it, sir.
FIRMIN
The chorus girl?
GIRY
Let her sing for you, Monsieur. She has been well taught.
CHRISTINE
Think of me,
think of me fondly,
when we've said
goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while -
please promise
me you'll try.
CHRISTINE
When you find
that, once
again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free -
if you
ever find
a moment,
spare a thought
for me...
(Transformation to the Gala, CHRISTINE is revealed in full
costume)
We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but if
you can still
remember,
stop and think
of me...
Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been...
Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and
resigned.
Imagine me,
trying too hard
to put you
from my mind.
Recall those days,
look back
on all those times,
think of all the things
we'll never do -
there will
never be
a day, when
I won't think
of you...
(Applause, bravos. Prominent among the bravos, those of the
young RAOUL in the MANAGERS' box)
RAOUL
Can it be?
Can it be Christine?
Bravo!
(He raises his opera-glasses)
What a change!
You're really
not a bit the gawkish girl
that once you were...
(Lowering his opera-glasses)
She may
not remember
me, but
I remember
her...
CHRISTINE
We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but please
promise me,
that sometimes,
you will think
of me!
CARLOTTA
Think of me,
think of me fondly,
when we've said
goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while -
please promise me
you'll try.
