All I Ask Of You
Sarah Brightman & Steve Barton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you, beside you
Say you'll love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summer time
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe, no one will find you
Your fears are far behind you
All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you always, beside me
To hold me and to hide me
Then say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me each night, each morning
Say you love me
You know I do
Love me, that's all I ask of you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Love me, that's all I ask of you
, to hold me and to hide me.
These lyrics are from the song, All I Ask of You, in the musical Phantom of the Opera. The scene in which this song is sung takes place when Raoul, a nobleman and Christine's love interest, finds her in the stage room after she has been taken away by the Phantom. Raoul reassures Christine that he will protect her from the darkness and all the fears that she had while she was under the Phantom's control. He promises to love her every waking moment and to always be there for her. These words comfort Christine and she asks Raoul to promise her that he will always stay true to her, and provide her with freedom and a world with no more darkness.
The lyrics in this song convey a sense of protection, comfort, and love. Raoul's words express his feelings of love and his desire to protect Christine from all danger while Christine's words reveal her desire for freedom and her yearning to be with Raoul forever. Both characters express their love and devotion towards each other and their willingness to overcome any adversity that they may face. Through this duet, the audience can see the deep love and bond that exists between Raoul and Christine.
