All I Ask Of You
RAOUL
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I'm here, nothing can harm you -
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you . . .
CHRISTINE
Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime . . .
Say you need me with you,
now and always . . .
promise me that all you say is true -
that's all I ask of you . . .
RAOUL
Let me be your shelter, let me
be your light. You're safe:
No-one will find you your fears are
far behind you . . .
CHRISTINE
All I want is freedom, a world with
no more night . . .
and you always beside me to hold me
and to hide me . . .
RAOUL
love, one lifetime . . .
Let me lead you from your solitude . . .
Say you need me with you here, beside you . . .
anywhere you go, let me go too -
Christine, that's all I ask of you . . .
CHRISTINE
say the word and I will follow you . . .
BOTH
CHRISTINE
Say you love me . . .
RAOUL
You know I do . . .
BOTH
Love me -
that's all I ask of you . . .
(They kiss)
Anywhere you go let me go too . . .
Love me, that's all I ask of you . .
CHRISTINE
I must go -
they'll wonder where I am . . .
wait for me, Raoul!
RAOUL
Christine, I love you!
CHRISTINE;
Order your fine horses! Be with them at the door!
RAOUL
And soon you'll be beside me!
CHRISTINE
You'll guard me, and you'll guide me . . .
