Giry Confronts The Phantom / 'Til I Hear You Sing (Reprise)

Tell me, did you watch?
Tell me that you saw
Did you hear the crowd
The way they cheered?
I hope you're proud
Did you like the new routine?
Was it passable, I mean?
I can change a thing or two
What should I do?
No, don't say it, I can guess
But I promise, I'll progress
Yes, of course
Whatever you feel is best
Did the costumes look okay?
Too revealing, would you say?
People seemed to like the view
Meg, please
I could show a bit more skin
That would sure bring 'em in
Meg
Can't you see that the master's at work?
Can't you see that his mind's somewhere else?
Can't you see that obviously he's thinking of things
More important than you?
Careful, Madame
You're forgetting yourself
Don't you see he forgot what this is?
Opening day, a big deal, what's the fuss
Our success means not, I guess
Compared to the things that the Master must do
That's quite enough
Christine, Christine
Christine
Meg, leave, now
In Paris
When the mob surrounded you
Who was there?
We were there
Where was she
When the law men hounded you?
Gone, long gone
We stayed on
Who concealed you safe away?
Smuggled you up to Calet?
Found a freighter out of France?
I don't see the problem
This is ancient history
And once here
When the side show hired you
Who stood by?
Meg and I
While they kept you on display
Who kept working night and day?
Who gave you their very lives?
And who helped you buy that side show?
Who helped you finance your scheme?
Who wouldn't quit 'til your act was a hit?
And your hit could become your dream?
Who played the politicians
Lured investors and the press?
No, not her
And who stayed with you, helped you and advised you?
We stayed with you, loved and idolized you
She betrayed you, shunned you and despised you
She chose Raoul, chose his beauty and youth
It's long past time you faced up
Enough
You'll be repaid
As I promised you would
Now, if you've anything else left to say
Oh, Christine, my Christine
Yes, you've fled from my face once before
But Christine
What we shared, even you can't ignore
My Christine, I'll be no longer denied
I'll have you back by my side
My sweet Christine
And come what may
I swear, somehow, some way
I will hear you sing once more
