Glory Crampton feat. Richard White -
Phantom: The American Musical Sensation (Premiere Cast Recording)
Home
All my life I've been waiting
In my mind, in a rocking chair
For my fancy to take the air
I would know the time
Tick and tock went my childhood
Father said I would know the place
Skin would tingle and pulse would race
As they do, it's here
I'm home
Where music fills the air
And I'm home
Where a thousand lovers cry
Swoon and sigh
And I'm home
Where ev'ry violin
Plays a treat as sweet as a honeycomb
Wherever music plays I know I'm home
Here, where fables come alive
Year by year
We forget our troubles nights
Under lights
And each tear becomes a gentle tune or duet
Kept straight by a metronome
And if I'm singing then I know
I'm home
Where ev'ry English horn
Makes me feel glad I'm born
And ev'ry woodwind trill
Excites a thrill that's new
The giant contrabass
The great soprano's face
Combine to make a perfect world
Far better than what's outside
Dreams
I've lived within my dreams
Now it seems
I've awakened and they're real
Pinch and feel
If one day
I walk upon this stage from these wings
And play underneath this dome
And if I sing with all my heart
I'll be home
All my life to be waiting
For an angel to one day speak
Mouth goes dry, and my knees grow weak
At each word, each sound
That voice (Ahhhh)
That music in the air (Ahhhh)
Ev'ry choice, ev'ry syllable, each note
How they float
And her tone
A miracle of silk, spun to gold
Unfolding in polychrome
And when I hear it, how I know I'm home
Who is this prodigy
Who sings to only me
She is as innocent and natural as a rose
I'll do her so much good
We two, I know we could
Combine to make a perfect world
Far better than what's outside
La la la la
La la la la
La la la
Dreams (my dreams)
I've lived within my dreams (my dreams)
Now it seems
I've awakened and they're real
If they're real
If one day I (she) walk (walks)
Upon this stage from these wings
And play (plays) underneath this dome
And if I (she) sings
With all my (her) heart
I'll be home
In my mind, in a rocking chair
For my fancy to take the air
