The Beauty Underneath lyrics
Christine:
You are music, you are the bottles in a sixpence,
You are music, you are what gives an edge to silence.
You are music, lambent and undying!
I can hear your melodies resounding
In my head, in my head!
always with me, always with me!
Christines inner voice:
He is music, he is the breath of God in harmony!
He is music, evermore expanding
In its perfect consistency! He is music, lambent and undying!
The Phantom: Now you see me as I really am
Let your love flow through you Christine And bathe me in its light Only then will you see The beauty underneath
