Masquerade Lyrics - The Phantom Of The Opera - Soundtrack

FIRMIN 

Monsiuer Andre! 

ANDRE 

Monsiuer Firmin! 

(laughter) 

GENTLEMAN#1 

Dear Andre what a splendid party 

GENTLEMAN#2 

The prologue to a bright new year 

GENTLEMAN#1 

Quite a night, I'm impressed 

ANDRE 

Well, one does one's best 

Here's to us! 

The toast of all the city, what a pity that The Phantom can't be here! 

CHORUS 

Masquerade! 

Paper faces on parade... 

Masquerade! 

Hide your face so the world will never find 

you!

Masquerade! 

Every face a different shade... 

Masquerade! 

Look around- 

There's another mask behind you! 

Flash of mauve... 

Splash of puce... 

Fool and king... 

Ghoul and goose... 

Green and black... 

Queen and priest... 

Trace of rouge... 

Face of beast...

Faces ... 

Take your turn, take a ride 

On the merry-go-round... 

In an inhuman race... 

Eye of gold... 

Thigh of blue... 

True is false... 

Who is who? 

Curl of lip... 

Swirl of gown... 

Ace of hearts... 

Face of clown... 

Faces... 

Drink it in, drink it up, 

'Til you've drowned 

In the light, 

In the sound... 

But who can name the face? 

Masquerade! 

Grinning yellows, 

Spinning reds... 

Masquerade! 

Take your fill 

Let the spectacle astound you! 

Masquerade! 

Burning glances, 

Turning heads... 

Masquerade! 

Stop and stare 

At the sea of smiles around you! 

Masquerade! 

Seething shadows, 

Breathing lies... 

Masquerade! 

You can fool any friend Who ever knew 

you! 

Masquerade! 

Leering satyrs, 

peering eyes... 

Masquerade! 

Run and hide- 

But a face will still pursue you! 

Andre, Firmin: 

What a night! 

What a crowd! 

Makes you glad! 

Makes you proud! 

Carlotta: 

All the crme de la crme! 

Watching us, watching them! 

And all our fears 

are in the past! 

Andre: 

Three months... 

Of relief! 

Of delight! 

Andre: 

Of Elysian peace! 

Giry: 

And we can breathe at last! 

Carlotta: 

No more notes! 

Piangi: 

No more ghosts! 

Giry: 

Here's a health! 

Here's a toast 

Managers: 

to a prosperous year! 

To our friends who are here! 

Carlotta/Piangi: 

And may our splendour never fade! 

All: 

What a joy! 

What a change! 

What a blessed release! 

And what a masquerade! 

CHRISTINE 

Think of it! 

A secret engagement! 

Look-your future bride! Just think of it! 

RAOUL 

But why is it secret? 

What have we to hide? 

You promised me 

CHRISTINE 

No Raoul, please don't, 

They'll see! 

RAOUL 

Well, then let them see. 

It's an engagement, not a crime! 

Christine, what are you afraid of? 

CHRISTINE 

Let's not argue... 

RAOUL 

Let's not argue... 

CHRISTINE 

Please pretend... 

RAOUL 

I can only hope 

BOTH 

I'll/You will ... 

...Understand in time... 

CHORUS 

Masquerade! 

Paper faces on parade... 

Masquerade! 

Hide your face so the world 

Will never find you! 

Masquerade! 

Every face a different shade... 

Masquerade! 

Look around- 

There's another mask behind you! 

Masquerade! 

Burning glances, turning heads... 

Masquerade! 

Stop and stare 

At the sea of smiles around you! 

Masquerade! 

Grinning yellows, spinning reds... 

Masquerade! 

Take your fill- 

Let the spectacle astound you!
