[CARLOTTA]

Think of me, think of me fondly when we've said goodbye

Remember me, once in a while, please, promise me you'll try

When you find that, once again, you long

To take your heart back—

[As CARLOTTA is singing, a backdrop crashes to the floor, cutting her off from half the cast.]

[MEG, BALLET GIRLS & ENSEMBLE]

He's here: the Phantom of the Opera

He is with us, it's the ghost

He's here! The Phantom of the Opera

He is with us, it's the ghost

[ANDRE]

Heavens! Will you show a little courtesy?

[FIRMIN, spoken]

Mademoiselle, please

[ANDRE, spoken]

These things do happen

[CARLOTTA, spoken]

Si, these things do happen

Well, until you stop these things happening, this thing does not happen

[MEG, spoken]

Christine Daaé could sing it, sir

[FlRMIN, spoken]

The chorus girl?

[GIRY, spoken]

Let her sing for you, monsieur, she has been well taught

[CHRISTINE]

Think of me, think of me fondly when we've said goodbye

Remember me, once in a while, please, promise me you'll try

When you find that once again you long to take your heart back and be free

If you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen

Or as unchanging as the sea

But if you can still remember, stop and think of me

Think of all the things we've shared and seen

Don't think about the things which might have been

Think of me, think of me waking silent and resigned

Imagine me trying too hard to put you from my mind

Recall those days, look back on all those times

Think of the things we'll never do

There will never be a day when I won't think of you

[The audience applauds.]

[RAOUL]

Can it be? Can it be Christine?

[RAOUL, spoken]

Bravo!

[RAOUL]

What a change, you're really not a bit

The gawkish girl that once you were

She may not remember me

But I remember her

[CHRISTINE]

We never said our love was evergreen

Or as unchanging as the sea

But please promise me that sometimes you will think

[CHRISTINE vocalizing.]

[CHRISTINE]

Of me
