I thought this might be an interesting thread idea.
Just someplace to post lyrics that touch you in anyway. Whether they inspire you or maybe they just can't get out of your head.
One song I haven't been able to get out of my head for nearly a month now is "That's All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera.
I've always loved this song, but since I've seen the movie like four times already, it's permanently affixed.
Not to mention it's got special meaning
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 . . .
BOTH
Share each day with me,
each night, each morning . . .
CHRISTINE
Say you love me . . .
RAOUL
You know I do . . .
BOTH
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 . .
