LYRICS:

"All I Ask Of You"
(performed with Michael Crawford (Raoul:)

[Michael Crawford:]
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 (Sarah):]
Say you'll love me ev'ry 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

[Michael Crawford:]
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

[Michael Crawford:]
Then say you'll share with me one 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
That's all I ask of you

[Christine:]
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you

[Together:]
Share each day with me, each night, each morning

[Christine:]
Say you love me

[Michael Crawford:]
You know I do

[Together:]
Love me, that's all I ask of you

Love me, that's all I ask of you

Andrew LLoyd Webber


Enjoy, my Brothers and Sisters!
