Mother, did you see?
[00:02]Was it all alright?
[00:03]Mother, was he watching?
[00:04]Was he keeping out of sight?
[00:07]I was frightened half to death
[00:09]and I had to catch my breath
[00:11]as the lights began to dim!
[00:13]I was suddenly aware
[00:16]of a presence in the air and I knew it was him!
[00:20]Yes, I know there were some snags
[00:22]There are moments where it lags
[00:26]Mother? Mother, what's wrong?
[00:32]A surprise announcement
[00:34]from Mr. Oscar Hammerstein.
[00:36]Christine Daaé left Paris this morning
[00:39]to sing at the opening
[00:40]of his new Manhattan Opera House.
[00:43]Christine, Christine...
[00:48]Christine
[00:53]Ten long years
[00:54]Not a sign, not a word
[00:57]Ten long years
[00:58]now she comes to our shores
[01:01]We must pray she keeps away
[01:05]from us and from him and his dreams and his scores
[01:10]What do you mean?
[01:12]In Paree
[01:13]when the mob surrounded him who was there?
[01:18]We were there!
[01:21]Where was she
[01:22]when the lawmen hounded him?
[01:23]Gone, long gone
[01:26]We stayed on
[01:29]Who concealed him safe away?
[01:31]Smuggled him up to Calais?
[01:34]Found a freighter out of France?
[01:36]I don't see the problem
[01:38]This is ancient history
[01:40]And who helped him buy his first sideshow?
[01:43]Mother, don't.
[01:44]And who plied the politicians?
[01:48]That's all over now.
[01:49]Charmed investors and the press?
[01:52]No, not her!
[01:56]And who stayed with him
[02:00]helped him and advised him?
[02:04]We stayed with him
[02:08]loved and idolized him!
[02:13]She betrayed him
[02:17]shunned him and despised him!
[02:21]She chose Raoul, chose to make a new start
[02:26]Chose beauty and youth over genius and art
[02:30]Fixed her aim on wealth and fame
[02:34]Fled from the master
[02:36]yet fled with his heart...
[02:40]It seems a hundred years ago
[02:45]when you and I were both on show
[02:49]dancing side by side
[02:53]shy and starry-eyed
[02:57]The waves now bring you back to me
[03:00]and any day we soon will be
[03:04]side by side again
[03:08]just the same as then
[03:12]Ah, Christine! Long ago
[03:16]how I watched, as you rose like a star!
[03:22]Ah, Christine!
[03:24]We have all traveled long
[03:28]traveled far! Ah, Christine
[03:33]You seem a thousand miles away
[03:37]and yet your ship sets out today
[03:41]Sails across the sea
[03:45]bringing you to me
[03:49]And I will show you all the sights
[03:53]Manhattan's noise and Coney's lights!
[03:57]Friends at last again
[04:01]just the same as then!
[04:06]Just like
[04:08]way back when
