Act II

Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade...
Masquerade!
Hide your face,
so the world will
never find you!

Christine

Masoleum

You were once my one companion. . .
you were all that mattered. . .
You were once a friend and father --
then my world was shattered. . .

Wishing you were here again. . .
wishing you were somehow near. . .
Sometimes it seemed, if I just dreamed,
somehow you would be here. . .

Wishing I could hear your voice again. . .
know that I never would. . .
Dreaming of you won't help me do
all that you dreamed I could. . .

Passing bells and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental,
seem, for you, the wrong companions--
you were warm and gentle. . .

Too many years fighting back tears. . .
Why can't the past just die. . .?

Wishing you were somehow here again. . .
knowing we must say goodbye. . .
Try to forgive... teach me to live. . .
give me the strength to try. . .

No more memories, no more silent tears. . .
No more gazing across the wasted years. . .
Help me say goodbye.

You alone can make my music take flight--
it's over now, the music of the night
