Andrew Lloyd Webber - Beneath A Moonless Sky (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) lyrics

So it was all an empty lie
One final lie to fool us all
To make your death our story's end
To put your life beyond recall
How dare you come and claim me now?
Invade my life, ensnare my voice

If you could know the pain I've known
Then you would know I had no choice
My Christine

Your Christine
I was yours one brief night long ago
Long ago with a man that I no longer know

Ah, Christine you came and found where I hid
Don't you deny that you did
That long ago night

Once there was a night beneath a moonless sky
Too dark to see a thing, too dark to even try

I stole to your side tormented by my choice
I couldn't see your face
Yet trembled at your voice

And I touched you

And I felt you

And I heard those ravishing refrains

The music of your pulse

The singing in your veins

And I held you

And I touched you

And with every breath and every sigh

I felt no longer scared

I felt no longer shy

At last our feelings bared
Beneath a moonless sky

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

Cloaked under the night
With nothing to suppress
A woman and a man, no more and yet no less
And I kissed you

And caressed you

And the world around us fell away
We said things in the dark
We never dared to say

And I caught you

And I kissed you

And I took you

And I begged you

With a need too urgent to deny
As nothing mattered then
Except for you and I
Again and then again, beneath a moonless sky

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 good-bye
And slipped into the dark
Beneath a moonless sky

And I loved you, yes, I loved you
I'd have followed anywhere you led
I woke to swear my love
And found you gone instead

And I loved you

And I loved you

And I left you

How I loved you

And I had to both of us knew why

We both knew why

And yet I won't regret from now until I die
The night I can't forget
Beneath a moonless sky

And now?

How can you talk of now? For
Us there is no now
