Rupert Holmes - Phantom of the Opera lyrics

I wrote a song tonight
And no one else will hear it
Although my voice rings long
If you were once to see my
Face I know you'd fear it
Your screams would drown my song

Just what my face has got to
Do with what I'm sayin'
Never has been clear to me
How could my features change my words
Is what I'm sayin'
Somethin' you don't hear but see?

I am your Phantom who is
Buried in the curtain or on the chandelier
I may be hidden in the wings
You may be certain my watchful eyes are near
I watch and wait to see if
Time will being a new crowd
Who will judge me differently
Yet every night they say
"The orchestra is too loud"
But they love the scenery

You don't know what a lovely
Song I'd sing each hour
I'd sing it just for you
I hate these catacombs that
Are my ivory tower i want to be with you

'Neath this mask there is face
But the face is just a mask
'Neath the mask there is a man
He is the horror that he seems
I am the Phantom of your dreams
