Songtexte Mother Please, I'm Scared! - Andrew Lloyd Webber

GUSTAVE]
Mother Please I'm Scared
What a dream, an awful dream
Someone strange and mad
Seizing me and drowning me

Gustave, hush it's alright

Come and meet a friend of mine

Welcome to my world young friend.

Your world? Where are we?

We're in Phantasma, little Vicomte!
On Coney Island! A world of fantasy where illusion is emperor!

Tell me where you'd like to go
Tell me what you want to see
Madame please I insist

Could you show me if you please
All Phantasma's mysteries
All that's strange and wild and dark
In the shadows of the park

PHANTOM]
You shall see it all tomorrow.
In fact, I myself will show you. I promise.

Back to sleep now Gustave

Why does he wear a mask mother? Is he a magician?

Yes darling... in his way.

Phantom
What a child
Full of life
Full of you
My Christine
Help me through this sadness
Do this kindness for your mentor
Or your prodigy
That prefect specimen
May disappear on Coney Island
Vanish here, on Coney Island
Ah, Christine

Christine
What are you saying?
How could you?
After all that we've been
Who are you?

Phantom
I am your angel of music
I am dying, Christine
Suffocating, here in the dark
Give me breath, give me life
Sing for me
Or I will take from you all you have ever loved

Christine
No, no you can't

Phantom
Oh, but I can.
A man as hideous as this, believe me, is capable of anything

Christine
And what am I to sing

Phantom
One song, composed by me

Christine
And then, we're free to go

Phantom
And will, of course, receive a princely fee
Is it on
With the show
Does he stay?
Does he go?

(Phantom exits)
(Raoul Enters)

Raoul
He's nowhere to be seen

Christine
Who?

Raoul
Hammerstein. What the devil is going on in this place?

Christine
Darling, things have changed.
