Once there was a night beneath a moonless sky
Too dark to see a thing, too dark to even try
I strode to your side to tell you I must go
I couldn't see your face but sensed you even so
Chorus
And I touched you (Christine)
And I felt you (Phantom)
And I heard those ravishing refrains
The music of the past
The singing in your veins
And I held you (Christine)
And I touched you (Phantom)
And embraced you (Christine)
And I felt you (Phantom)
And with every breath and every sigh
I felt no longer scared
I felt no longer shy
At last our feelings bared
Beneath a moonless sky
verse 2
And blind in the dark, as soul gazed into soul
I looked into your heart and saw you pure and whole
Cloaked under the night with nothing to suppress
A woman and a man, no more and yet no less
Chorus 2
And I kissed you (Christine)
And caressed you (Phantom)
And the world around just fell away
We said things in the dark
We never dared to say
And I caught you (Phantom)
And I kissed you (Christine)
And I took you (Phantom)
And caressed you (Christine)
With a need too blatant to deny
And nothing mattered then
Except for you and I
Again and then again
Beneath a moonless sky
verse 3
And when it was done before the sun could rise
Ashamed of what I was, afraid to see your eyes
I stood while you slept and whispered a goodbye
And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky
Chorus 3
And I loved you
Yes, I loved you
I'd have followed anywhere you lead
I woke to swear my love
And found you gone instead
And I loved you
(How I loved you)
And I left you
(How I loved you)
And I had to, both of us knew why
We both knew why
And yet I won't regret
From now until I die
The night I can't forget
Beneath a moonless sky
