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