The Point of No Return - Micheal Crawford and Sarah Brightman

Don Juan(PHANTOM):
Past the point
of no return -
no backward glances:
the games we've played
till now
are at an end . . .
Past all thought
of "if" or "when" -
no use resisting:
abandon thought,
and let the dream
descend . . .

What raging fire
shall flood the soul?
What rich desire
unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction
lies before
us . . .?

Past the point
of no return,
the final threshold -
what warm,
unspoken secrets
will we learn?
Beyond the point
of no return . . .

Aminta(Christine):
You have brought me
to that moment
where words run dry,
to that moment
where speech
disappears
into silence,
silence . . .

I have come here,
hardly knowing
the reason why . . .
In my mind,
I've already
imagined our
bodies entwining
defenceless and silent -
and now I am
here with you:
no second thoughts,


I've decided,
decided . . .

Past the point
of no return -
no going back now:
our passion-play
has now, at last,
begun . . .
Past all thought
of right or wrong -
one final question:
how long should we
two wait, before
we're one . . .?

When will the blood
begin to race
the sleeping bud
burst into bloom?
When will the flames,
at last, consume
us . . .?

Both:
Past the point
of no return
the final threshold -
the bridge
is crossed, so stand
and watch it burn . . .
We've passed the point
of no return . . .

PHANTOM:
say you'll share with me
one love, one lifetime
lead me ,save me
from my solitude...
Say you want me with you here,
beside you...
anywhere you go,
let me go too
Christine,
that's all I ask of...

Stupid fucking Christine, not letting him finish his beautiful sentence.

I am actually obsessed with this song recently. No one can beat Michael and Sarah <3 Although Emmy did do a great job as Christine. I wans't keen on Gerard Butler.

@mcrclaire what is this? any info?

thanks =p

@proudtobeasarahfan I don't get what the problem is with Butler. His voice is a little unusual, but there's a huge differance between that and not being able to sing. Plus I felt he was able to convey much more emotion in his voice than any other Phantom I've heard. Thereby making me feel more sympathetic towards the character.

[OhItsJustDina]

It's undeniable-- they're both great singers [Brightman and Crawford]. Still, I prefer Rossum's voice because I like her smooth singing better than Brightman's... vibrating voice.

OMG i don't know why my generation are so fond of katy perry ect ect .... i'd prefer this any day!

[scrambledpenis]

@proudtobeasarahfan gerard butler was not a good enough singer for the part. but his acting was incredibly good!

[Zhilbar]

Man, Brightman's voice is so much richer these days. I just wish I could hear her belt this out sometime post-2004.

[lemonjamz]

Uhhhhhhh I'm getting married to the Phantom because that there was smexiness

[darkakherousia]

The more I listen to this song, the more I fall in love with Crawford. He's just breathtaking. Sarah is brilliant, as always. But MIchael... Gosh.

[mcrclaire]

I'm so excited for the UK tour next year! :D

Stop bashing on Sarah Brightman, she is the best Christine ever. >:(
