Giry Confronts The Phantom / 'Til I Hear You Sing (Reprise)

Meg
Tell me did you watch?
Tell me that you saw.
Did you hear the crowd?
The way they cheered,
I hope your 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.
Phantom
Yes of course whatever you feel is best.
Meg
Did the costume look okay?
Too revealing would you say?
People seemed to like the view.
Madame Giry
Meg please.
Meg
I could show a bit more skin.
That would surely bring them in.
Madame Giry
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?
Phantom
Careful madame. You’re forgetting yourself.
Madame Giry
Don’t you see he forgot what this.
Opening day, a big deal, what a fuss.
Our success means not I guess compared to the things that the master must do.
Phantom
That’s quite enough!
Madame Giry
Christine! Christine!
Meg
Christine…
Madame Giry
Meg leave now.
In Paris, when the mob surrounded you.
Who was there? We were there.
Where was she when the low men hounded you? Gone! Long gone! We stayed on.
Who concealed you safe away?
Smuggled you up to Callay?
Found a fighter out of France?
Phantom
I don’t see the problem.
This is ancient history.
Madame Giry
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 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,
Love and idolized you.
She betrayed you.
Shuned you and despised you.
She chose Raoul.
Chose his beauty and youth.
It’s long past time you faced up to…
Phantom
ENOUGH!
You will be repaid as I promised you would.
Now if you’ve anything else left to say.
Oh Christine. My Christine.
Yes you 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 here you sing once more.
