All I Ask of You
Sarah Brightman And Steve Barton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
No more talk of darkness,
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,
Christine (Sarah)
Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that's all I ask of you.
Raoul
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you're safe, no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.
Christine
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me
, 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.
