Wonderful Music- Song of the moment

Had a pretty interesting encounter with a musician from a neighbouring country. Well, the language barrier was there, however, with a little of this and that and of course, with music as the universal language, all's well.

His laptop was playing this particular piece from Phantom. Wonderful piece. I recall the days when S was playing this practicing this piece on her piano and well, I had to sing along. I don't consider myself a good singer; in fact , far from that. But somehow this piece sort of stuck with me. The wonders of music, make that good music from the magical The Rt Hon. The Lord Lloyd-Webber .( That's what I understand to be his full title )

The last time I heard this piece was again, on the piano. But well, W was playing it. SL wasn't too interested to sing along with his wife who by the way has wonderful vocals. Dug into my laptop, combed through every MP3, and yes, I have it. =)

Song of the moment-

Phantom Of The Opera - All I Ask Of You

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'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.

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
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from you 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...

Raoul
You know I do.

Together
Love me, that's all I ask of you.

Anywhere you go let me go too

Love me...
that's all I ask of you.
