Sarah Brightman & Michael Crawford - The phantom of the opera

Christine (Sarah)
In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do I dream again
For now I find
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind
The phantom (Michael)
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
To glance behind
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside your mind
Christine
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
The phantom
It's me they hear
Christine (in duet with the phantom)
Your spirit and my voice in one combined
The phantom (in duet with Christine)
My spirit and your voice in one combined
Both
The phantom of the opera is there
Christine (in duet)
Inside my mind
The phantom (in duet)
Inside your mind
Choir (very, very soft)
He's there,
The phantom of the opera
Beware,
The phantom of the opera
The phantom
In all your fantasy
You always knew
That man and mystery
Christine
Were both in you
Both
And in this labyrinth
Were night is blind
The phantom of the opera is
Christine (in duet)
Here
The phantom (in duet)
There
Christine
Inside my mind
The phantom
Sing! My angel of music
Christine
He's there
The phantom of the opera
Christine starts wailing

The phantom

Sing...
Christine continues wailing,
and keeps on wailing after every
sentence the Phantom sings

The phantom

Sing for me...
Sing, my angel of music!
Sing for me!

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Lyrics: Charles Hart, Richard Stilgoe, Mike Batt
Show: "The phantom of the opera" (1986).

From: The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection (1997).
This song is also on Sings the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber (1992), but then it is a duet with Steve Harley and with somewhat different lyrics; see that page for some remarks on this.
Sarah sings the song (which version?) with Chris Thompson on: Symphony: Live in Vienna (2008).

Source of the lyrics: thanks to Christian Fredriksen, with some minor corrections.
Christian added: "My source to these lyrics, beside myself, was the booklet of the recording of The phantom of the opera. Where I have written Christine starts wailing, it says Christine starts singing in a mysterious way in the booklet."
What he means is that Christine sings "Aaahhh" and such.
