Musicals – Love Never Dies - Beneath A Moonless Sky lyrics

I should have known that you'd be here,
I should have known it all along,
This whole arrangement bears your step,
You're in each measure of that song.
How dare you try and claim me now, how dare you come invade my life?

Oh Christine, my Christine in that time when the world
Thought me dead, My Christine on that night just before
You were wed. Ah Christine you came and found where
I hid, don't you deny that you did. That long ago night.

That night.

Once there was a night beneath a moonless sky.
Too dark to see a thing. Too dark to even try.
I stood to your side, to tell you I must go.
I couldn't see your face, but sensed you even so. And I touched you.

And I felt you.

And I heard those ravishing refrains.

The music of your pulse.
The singing in your veins.
And I held you, and I touched you.
And embraced you, and I felt you.
And with every breath and every sigh.
I felt no longer scared. I felt no longer shy.
At last our feelings bared beneath a moonless sky.

And blind in the dark, a soul gazed into song; I looked
Into your heart and saw you pure and whole.
Cloaked under the night with nothing to suppress,
A women and a man no more and yet no less.

And I kissed you. And caressed you.
And the world around us fell away.
We said things in the dark,
We never dared to say. And I caught you.
And I kissed you. And I took you.
And caressed you. With a need too urgent to deny.
And nothing mattered then,
Except for you and I. Again and then again, beneath a moonless sky.

And when it was done. Before the sun could rise.
Ashamed of what I was. Afraid to see your eyes.
I stood while you slept and whispered a goodbye.
And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky.

And I loved you, yes I loved you. I'd have followed any where you
Led. I woke to swear my love, and found you gone instead.

And I loved you. And I loved you.
And I left you. And I loved you.
And I had to, both of us knew why.
We both knew why. And yet I won't regret from
Now until I die. A night I can't forget, beneath a moonless sky.

And now. How could you talk of now for us? There is no now.
