Home

[Christine]
All my life I've been waiting
In my mind, in a rocking chair
For my fancy to take me
And I would know the time

Tick and tock went my childhood
Father said I would know the place
Skin would tingle and pulse would race
As they do, it's here

I'm home
Where music fills the air
And I'm home
Where a thousand lovers cry
Swoon and sigh
And I'm home
Where every violin
Plays a treat as sweet
As a honeycomb
Wherever music plays
I know I'm home

Here, where fables come alive
Year by year
We forget our troubled lives
Under lights
And each tear
Becomes a gentle tune or duet
Kept straight by a metronome
And if I'm singing
Then I know I'm home

Where every English horn
Makes me feel glad I'm born
And every woodwind trill
Excites a thrill that's new
The giant contrabass
The great soprano's face
Combine to make a perfect world
Far better than what's outside

Dreams, I've lived within my dreams
Now it seems
I've awakened and they're real
Pinch and feel
If one day
I walk upon this stage from these wings
And play underneath this dome
And if I sing with all my heart
I'll be home

[Phantom]
All my life to be waiting
For an angel to one day sing
Mouth goes dry
And my knees grow weak
At each word
Each sound

That voice
That music in the air
Every choice
Every syllable
Each note
How they float
And her tone
A miracle of silk spun to gold
Unfolding in polychrome
And when I hear it
How I know I'm home

Who is this prodigy
Who sings to only me?
She is as innocent
And natural as a rose
I'd do her so much good
We two, I know we could
Combine to make a perfect world
Far better than what's outside

[Christine]
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La laaaaa

[Phantom]
Dreams, I've lived within my dreams
Now it seems I've awakened
And they're real
If they're real
If one day she walks upon this stage
From these wings
And plays underneath this dome
And if she sings with all her heart
I'll be home

[Christine]
Dreams, I've lived within my dreams
Now it seems I've awakened
And they're real
If they're real
If one day I walk upon this stage
From these wings
And play underneath this dome
And if I sing with all my heart
I'll be home!
