Raoul – 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 every 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 your solitude.
Say you need me with you, here beside you, anywhere you go, let me go too,
Christine, 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.
Share each day with me, each night, each morning.
Say you love me!
Raoul – Oh, 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.
