Christine wakes up after she fainted upon seeing the Phantom’s doll of her in The Music of the Night. As she recalls how she got down there, she sees the Phantom working at his organ. To gain a better understanding of who was the man in her memory, she takes off his mask.

I Remember / Stranger Than You Dreamt It Lyrics

[As the light brightens, we see the PHANTOM seated at the organ, playing with furious concentration. He breaks off occasionally to write the music down. There is a musical box in the shape of a barrel organ beside the bed. Mysteriously, it plays as CHRISTINE wakes up. The music keeps her in a half-trance.]

[CHRISTINE]
I remember there was mist
Swirling mist upon a vast, glassy lake
There were candles all around
And on the lake, there was a boat
And in the boat, there was a man

[She rises and approaches the PHANTOM, who does not see her as she reaches for his mask. He turns, almost catching her. This happens several times.]

Who was that shape in the shadows?
Whose is the face in the mask?

[She finally succeeds in tearing the mask from his face. The PHANTOM springs up and rounds on her furiously. She clearly sees his face. The audience does not, as he is standing in profile and in shadow.]

[PHANTOM]
Damn you!
You little prying Pandora!
You little demon
Is this what you wanted to see?
Curse you!
You little lying Delilah!
You little viper
Now you cannot ever be free!

Damn you!
Curse you!

Stranger than you dreamt it
Can you even dare to look
Or bear to think of me?
This loathsome gargoyle, who burns in hell
But secretly yearns for heaven
Secretly… secretly
But Christine

Fear can turn to love—you'll learn to see
To find the man behind the monster
This repulsive carcass, who seems a beast
But secretly dreams of beauty
Secretly… secretly
Oh, Christine

[He holds out his hand for the mask, which she gives to him. He puts it on, turning towards the audience as he sings]

Come, we must return—
Those two fools who run my theatre will be missing you

[The lair sinks into the floor as the PHANTOM and CHRISTINE leave.]
