Lyrics

Tell me, did you watch?
 Tell me that you saw
 Did you hear the crowd
 The way they cheered?
 I hope you're proud
 Did you like the new routine?
 Was it passable, I mean?
 I can change a thing or two
 What should I do?
 No, don't say it, I can guess
 But I promise, I'll progress
 Yes, of course
 Whatever you feel is best
 Did the costumes look okay?
 Too revealing, would you say?
 People seemed to like the view
 Meg, please
 I could show a bit more skin
 That would sure bring 'em in
 Meg
 Can't you see that the master's at work?
 Can't you see that his mind's somewhere else?
 Can't you see that obviously he's thinking of things
 More important than you?
 Careful, Madame
 You're forgetting yourself
 Don't you see he forgot what this is?
 Opening day, a big deal, what's the fuss
 Our success means not, I guess
 Compared to the things that the Master must do
 That's quite enough
 Christine, Christine
 Christine
 Meg, leave, now
 In Paris
 When the mob surrounded you
 Who was there?
 We were there
 Where was she
 When the law men hounded you?
 Gone, long gone
 We stayed on
 Who concealed you safe away?
 Smuggled you up to Calet?
 Found a freighter out of France?
 I don't see the problem
 This is ancient history
 And once here
 When the side show hired you
 Who stood by?
 Meg and I
 While they kept you on display
 Who kept working night and day?
 Who gave you their very lives?
 And who helped you buy that side show?
 Who helped you finance your scheme?
 Who wouldn't quit 'til your act was a hit?
 And your hit could become your dream?
 Who played the politicians
 Lured investors and the press?
 No, not her
 And who stayed with you, helped you and advised you?
 We stayed with you, loved and idolized you
 She betrayed you, shunned you and despised you
 She chose Raoul, chose his beauty and youth
 It's long past time you faced up
 Enough
 You'll be repaid
 As I promised you would
 Now, if you've anything else left to say
 Oh, Christine, my Christine
 Yes, you've fled from my face once before
 But Christine
 What we shared, even you can't ignore
 My Christine, I'll be no longer denied
 I'll have you back by my side
 My sweet Christine
 And come what may
 I swear, somehow, some way
 I will hear you sing once more
