Written on the Bars ( to the tune of "Written in the Stars" from "Aida")
Sung by Erik and Christine:
Erik:
I am here to tell you
You can never see him again
Simple really, isn't it?
To dump him and then…
A lifetime of you alone
Making my song take flight
Those words are in
A son called
The music of the night…
Christine:
Ever wonder what I feel
As Carlotta struts by
Sometimes I love to sing
The music of the night
But I don't know what scale it's in
Or what key
Please do explain
I'm seeking clarity…
I'm seeking clarity…
Is it written in the bars?
Is it in 4/4 time?
Do all of the lyrics
In, some way rhyme?
Or some phantom's experiment
In which Andrew Lloyd Webber had a say
In which this song is in
A Tony-Awarding winning play…
Erik:
Marry me, Christine! This could be our chance to rub our relationship in Raoul's face. Don't you see?
Nothing you could ever say
Could make me hate you
Unless you say that enjoy
Star Jones Reynolds o The View…
Christine:
I wrote a letter to Dear Abby…
But it hasn't been replied…
Sometimes in my darkest dreams
I wish I could escape
Both:
To a strange new world and from the garish light of day…
Is it written in the bars?
Is it in 4/4 time?
Do all of the lyrics
In some way rhyme?
Or some phantom's experiment
In which Andrew Lloyd Webber had a say
In which this song is in
A Tony-Award winning play…
