All I Ask of You

A friend once urged me to see Phantom Of The Opera. I wasn't interested in it since I had never been to opera before. But she gave a very high recommendation of it and since she kept saying that even guys like me would like it (and that she would take me to it), I finally went to the show. She was right. I did love it so much. I had always thought operas were boring that I would've fallen asleep watching it. I was wrong. I even went again for the second time just to make sure if I  had missed anything on the first time. This song was probably the best tune from it. 

ALL I ASK OF YOU

RAOUL
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,
to guard you and to guide you...


CHRISTINE
Say you love me every 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...


RAOUL
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...


CHRISTINE
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...


RAOUL
You know I do...


BOTH
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...
