Paul Williams
The Phantom’s Theme (Beauty and the Beast)
[Verse 1]
Half asleep I hear a voice
Is it only in my mind
Or is it someone calling me
Someone I failed and left behind
[Chorus]
To work it out I let them in
All the good guys and the bad guys that I've been
All the devils that disturbed me
And the angels that defeated them somehow
Come together in me now
[Verse 2]
Face to face I greet the cast
Set in silence we begin
Companions in an empty room
I taste their victory and sin
[Chorus]
To work it out I let them in
All the good guys and the bad guys that I've been
All the devils that disturbed me
And the angels that defeated them somehow
Come together in me now
[Bridge]
A tale of beauty and the beast
I defend my soul from those who would accuse me
I share the famine and the feast
I have been the world and I felt it turning
Seen the jester yearning to amuse me
[Verse 3]
Like a circus on parade
Seldom close enough to see
I wander through an angry crowd
And wonder what's become of me
[Chorus]
To work it out I let them in
All the good guys and the bad guys that I've been
All the devils that disturbed me
And the angels that defeated them somehow
Come together in me now
