Description
The stalls are quiet in the theatre tonight
No more music in the air
A kingdom built for opera
And I hate when no one’s there
Yet I feel music swelling deep within my soul
Such a beautiful sound I cannot control
Don’t go out there
Don’t let them see
Be the phantom that you’ve been forced to be
Conceal
You’re real
And hide away
So far away
Let It Play
Let It Play
Music that the world needs to hear
Let It Play
Let It Play
Send it to them loud and clear
I don’t care what they say about me
Let my songs play on
The world will revel in my melodies
It’s strange how sitting down here I’m suddenly walking tall
All those people who once hurt me can’t get to me at all
It’s time to show what I can do
I’ll find a muse to sing songs to
Someone whose voice can set them free
For me
Let It Play
Let It Play
I’ve a talent that I must show
Let It Play
Let It Play
I have lyrics the world must know
Here I’ll write and down here I’ll be
Let my songs play on
All the beautiful notes that once lived in my head
I’ll pour out onto paper so they’ll be sung after I’m dead
And when I’ve found the voice to make my songs take flight
I’ll fill all Paris with the Music of the Night
Let It Play
Let It Play
And I’ll bathe in their rising applause
Let It Play
Let It Play
The Phantom will pen such scores
Here and now and they’ll cheer for me
Let my songs play on
The world will revel in my melodies
