Phantom's Lullaby

I must confess
My fascination, my infatuation
For you
This feeling crashes over me
And won’t let me fall 
Asleep
So calm me with a lullaby, a
Phantom’s lonely song
Caress me with an angel’s music
To get me through the night

Hold me in your arms again
The way you always do
Let me be so lucky as to know
You feel the same
Your simplicity, it awes me and
Leaves me in a daze
That hits me like a chandelier
And soft within a dream

And I never would have guessed
Above all, it would be you
To sweep me off my feet this way
Take me by the hand and dance with me
Out in the rain
I only want all of you, I hope it’s mine
To claim

You are the teddy from my childhood
But least of all my toy
Someday I want to love you, I’m lucky
Just to know you
One day we’ll sing our Phantom’s lullaby
For now just hold me tight

Grace me with your love, your chivalry,
Your time
We are just a whisper in the dark, a lullaby
