All I Ask of You
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra;David Arnold Lyrics

No more talk of darkness,
Let's forget about the dark things in life and move on.

Forget these wide-eyed fears;
Don't be afraid anymore, let go of your fears.

I'm here, nothing can harm you,
I'm here to protect you, nothing can hurt you when I'm with you.

My words will warm and calm you.
I will use my gentle words to make you feel better and safer.

Let me be your freedom,
Let me give you the freedom to be yourself and do what makes you happy.

Let daylight dry your tears;
The light of day will make you feel better and help you forget your sadness.

I'm here, with you, beside you,
I will be there with you always, right beside you whenever you need me.

To guard you and to guide you.
I will protect you and lead you in the right direction.

Say you love me every waking moment,
Tell me you love me every moment that you're awake.

Turn my head with talk of summertime.
Make me happy by talking about positive things, like summertime.

Say you need me with you now and always;
Promise me that you will always need me and that I will always be by your side.

Promise me that all you say is true,
Swear to me that everything you say is true and that you mean it.

That's all I ask of you.
That's all I want from you, honesty and love.

Let me be your shelter,
Let me protect you and keep you safe from harm.

Let me be your light;
Let me give you hope and light in the darkness.

You're safe, no one will find you,
You're safe with me, I will protect you and keep you hidden from danger.

Your fears are far behind you.
Let go of your fears, they are in the past and won't hurt you anymore.

All I want is freedom,
All I want is the freedom to pursue my dreams and be with you.

A world with no more night;
A world where there is only light and happiness, with no darkness or sadness.

And you, always beside me,
And you, always by my side, sharing in my happiness and dreams.

To hold me and to hide me.
To hold me close and keep me safe from harm.

Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
Promise me that you will love me and be with me for the rest of our lives.

Let me lead you from your solitude.
Let me help you leave behind your loneliness and be happy and loved.

Say you need me with you, here beside you,
Promise me that you will always need me and that I will always be by your side.

Anywhere you go, let me go too,
Wherever you go, I want to be there with you, sharing in your life and love.

Christine, that's all I ask of you
Christine, all I want is to be with you, to love you and be loved by you.

Share each day with me,
Share your life with me every day, through good times and bad.

Each night, each morning.
Every night and every morning, I want to be with you.

Say you love me!
Tell me you love me with all your heart and soul.

RAOUL
Raoul speaks.

You know I do.
I love you too, with all my heart.

Anywhere you go, let me go to
I want to always be by your side, wherever you go.

Love me, that's all I ask of you.
Love me as I love you, that's all I want from you.

(they kiss)
They share a romantic moment, kissing each other.

I must go
Christine has to leave.

They'll wonder where I am
If Christine doesn't leave soon, people will start to look for her.

Wait for me Raoul!
Christine asks Raoul to wait for her until she returns.

Christine I love you!
Raoul once again tells Christine how much he loves her.

Order your fine horses!
Raoul orders his horses, ready to leave with Christine.

Be with them at the door!
Christine should be ready to leave with Raoul when he arrives at the door with the horses.

And soon you'll be beside me!
Raoul reassures Christine that they will soon be together, safe and happy.

You'll guard me and you'll guide me
Raoul will protect and guide Christine, keeping her safe and happy.

(they hurry off and the phantom emerges from behind the statue)
Raoul and Christine leave quickly, while the Phantom watches from the shadows.

I gave you my music
The Phantom gave Christine his music, hoping that she would appreciate it and love him for it.

Made your song take wing
The Phantom helped Christine to become a famous singer, using his music to make her a star.

And now how you've repaid me
Despite everything the Phantom has done, Christine has rejected him and broken his heart.

Denied me and betrayed me
Christine's rejection feels like a betrayal to the Phantom, who has loved her for so long.

He was bound to love you when he heard you sing
The Phantom always knew Christine was special and fell in love with her the first time he heard her sing.

Say you'll share with me one love, One lifetime say the word and I will follow you
The Phantom begs Christine to love him and be with him forever, promising to follow her wherever she goes.

Share each day with me, each night, each morning
The Phantom wants Christine to share her life with him, every moment of every day.

You will curse the day you did not do
The Phantom warns Christine that she will regret not choosing him and living a life of loneliness.

All that the Phantom asked of you!
All the Phantom wanted was for Christine to love him and be with him, but now she has denied him and he is heartbroken.

Go!
The Phantom, in his anger and sadness, tells Christine to go and leave him alone.
