My Mother Bore Me (From 'Phantom') - Musical Cast Recording

My mother bore me in the southern wild

I live in darkness but my soul is light

Light as the forehead of an English child

But I'm in darkness and bereaved of light

My mother taught me underneath a tree

And sitting down before the heat of day

She took me on her lap and kissed me

And pointing to the east began to say

Look upon the rising sun

Their God does live

And gives his light

And gives his heat away

And all the trees and flowers

And beasts and men

Receive their comfort from the morning

Threw the bright noon day

And we are put on earth a little space

That we may learn to bare the beams of love

And these poor bodies and this ravaged face

Are but a cloud and like a shady grove

For when our souls

Have learned the heat to bear

The clouds will vanish

We will hear his voice saying

Come out from the grove my love and care

And around my golden tent like lambs rejoice

Thus did my mother say and kissed me

And thus I say to little English boy

When we are both from light

And dark clouds free

And around the tent of God we both rejoice

I will shade him from the heat

Till he can bear to lean in joy

Upon out father's knee

And then I'll stand and stroke his silver hair

And be like him and he will then love me

Voices in my night will cry Christine

And every drop of rain that falls

Will be Christine

You are the only one

My only chance of happiness

My golden leaf of autumn

My Christine

Look within this heart of mine Christine

The very constant soul and music of Christine

Behind this mortal mask

This terror of a face conceals

The gesture and the grace of you Christine

No one else must ever have Christine

If not for me you'd be for no one else Christine

If I am guilty I'd be guilty of

An innocents who's name is love

And never no never will you ever be

For anyone else and except for me

I damn you when I love

And I love you and I damn you

My Christine
