Finding his voice in a school choir, Crawford began his professional career still a teenager. Having some luck on the London stage in the early 60s, he then found his way onto the BBC and starred in various programmes such as 'Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em'. He also had film roles in 'The War Lover', 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum'. and 'How I Won the War' (which brought him into the same work as John Lennon).
Andrew Lloyd Webber's casting of him opposite Sarah Brightman and Steve Barton as the Phantom in 1986 shot his career into high gear. Winning a Tony Award for his role, Crawford also had the aforementioned tune, "The Music Of The Night", reach the British Top Ten. He has released several studio albums such as 'A Touch of Music in the Night' and 'On Eagle's Wings' among others.

Come stop your crying, we'll be alright
Just take my hand, hold it tight.
I will protect you from all around you,
I will be here don’t you cry.
For one so small, you seem so strong.
My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm,
I will be here don’t you cry
Cos you'll be in my heart, yes you'll be in my heart,
From this day on now and forever more.
Why can't they understand the way we feel,
they just don't trust what they can’t explain?
I know we're different but deep inside us
we're not that different at all.
Cos you'll be in my heart, yes you'll be in my heart,
From this day on now and forever more.
You'll be in my heart,
No matter what they say, you’ll be here in my heart,
Always.
Don't listen to them, 'cos what do they know. (What do they know?)
We need each other, to have to hold. (have to hold)
They'll see in time, I know.
When destiny calls you, you must be strong
(you got to be strong)
I may not be with you, but you got to hold on. (hold on)
They'll see in time, I know. We'll show them together,
Cos you’ll be in my heart,
Believe me, you’ll be in my heart. (from this day on)
I'll be there from this day on, now and forever more. (Always)
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say (No matter what they say)
You'll be here in my heart
Always (Always)
Always
I'll be with you, (I'll be there for you)
I'll be there for you,
Just look over your shoulder (over your shoulder)
Just look over your shoulder
