Lyrics:
*Australian version in brackets

CHRISTINE
I should have known that you'd be here (So it was all an empty lie)
I should have known it all along (One final lie to fool us all)
This whole arrangement bears your stamp (To make your death our story's end)
You're in each measure of that song (To put your life beyond recall)

How dare you try and claim me now (How dare you come and claim me now)
How dare you come invade my life (Invade my life, ensnare my voice)

(PHANTOM)
(If you could know the pain I've known)
(Then you would know I had no choice)

Oh Christine (My Christine)
My Christine (C: Your Christine)
In that time that the world thought me dead (C: I was yours one brief night long ago)
My Christine (C: Long ago)
On that night just before you were wed (C: With a man that I no longer know)
Oh Christine
You came and found where I hid
Don't you deny that you did
That long ago night

C: That night. (---)

PHANTOM
Once there was a night
Beneath a moonless sky
Too dark to see a thing
Too dark to even try

CHRISTINE
I stole to your side
To tell you I must go (Tormented by my choice)
I couldn't see your face
But sensed you even so (Yet trembled at your voice)

C: And I touched you
P: And I felt you
BOTH: And I heard those ravishing refrains
C: The music of your pulse
P: The singing in your veins
C: And I held you
P: And I touched you
C: And embraced you
P: And I felt you
BOTH: And with every breath and every sigh
C: I felt no longer scared
P: I felt no longer shy
BOTH: At last our feelings bared
Beneath a moonless sky

CHRISTINE
And blind in the dark
As soul gazed into soul
I looked into your heart
And saw you pure and whole

PHANTOM
Cloaked under the night
With nothing to suppress
A woman and a man
No more and yet no less.

P: And I kissed you
C: And caressed you
BOTH: And the world around us fell away
We said things in the dark
We never dared to say
P: And I caught you
C: And I kissed you
P: And I took you
C: And caressed you (And I begged you)
BOTH: With a need to urgent to deny
And nothing mattered then
Except for you and I
Again and then again
Beneath a moonless sky

PHANTOM:
And when it was done
Before the sun could rise
Ashamed of what I was
Afraid to see your eyes
I stood while you slept
and whispered a goodbye.
And slipped into the dark
Beneath a moonless sky

CHRISTINE:
And I loved you
Yes I loved you
I'd have followed any where you led
I woke to swear my love
And found you gone instead

P: And I loved you
C: And I loved you
P: And I left you
C: Yes I loved you
P: And I had to
Both of us knew why
C: We both knew why
BOTH: And yet I won't regret
From now until I die
The night I can't forget
Beneath a moonless sky

P: And now?
C: How could you talk of now? (How can you talk of now?)
For us... There is no now.
