His favorite protegee
Mentors her day by day
You are his curious delight
You're always affable
And so unflappable
Yes you're his favorite acolyte
Though your aura's sacred chic
Radiating cool mystique
Your life story does bespeak
Constant fight
His patronage for your art
Remains for you're his dear heart
Shine favorite protegee shine
Rejoice that your lives intertwine
The phantom of the opera,
In darkness masquerades.
A maestro of illusion,
In dreams he serenades.
While his protegee is sleeping,
He speaks of their romance.
When love is spurned, she's taken,
And given one last chance.
Imprisoned; unforsaken,
But where, she does not know.
Her choice is now between them,
The phantom or her beau.
One kiss from her he changes,
With her promise, when he dies.
To return and sing a requiem,
And, keep secret where he lies.
