M'sieur Andre

Dear Andre

What a splendid party

The prologue

To a bright new year

Quite a night

I'm impressed

Well one does

One's best

Here's to us

I must say all the same that

It's a shame that 'Phantom'

Fellow isn't here

Masquerade

Paper faces on parade

Masquerade

Hide your face

So the world will

Never find you

Masquerade

Every face a different shade

Masquerade

Look around -

There's another

Mask behind you

Flash of mauve

Splash of puce

Fool and king

Ghoul and goose

Green and black

Queen and priest

Trace of rouge

Face of beast

Faces

Take your turn take a ride

On the merry-go-round

In an inhuman race

Eye of gold

Thigh of blue

True is false

Who is who

Curl of lip

Swirl of gown

Ace of hearts

Face of clown

Faces

Drink it in drink it up

Till you've drowned

In the light

In the sound

But who can name the face

Masquerade

Grinning yellows

Spinning reds

Masquerade

Take your fill -

Let the spectacle

Astound you

Masquerade

Burning glances

Turning heads

Masquerade

Stop and stare

At the sea of smiles

Around you

Masquerade

Seething shadows

Breathing lies

Masquerade

You can fool

Any friend who

Ever knew you

Masquerade

Leering satyrs

Peering eyes

Masquerade

Run and hide -

But a face will

Still pursue you What a night

What a crowd

Makes you glad

Makes you proud

All the creme

De la creme

Watching us watching them

And all our fears

Are in the past

Six months

Of relief Of delight

Of Elysian peace

And we can breathe at last

No more notes

No more ghost

Here's a health

Here's a toast:

To a prosperous year

To the new chandelier

And may its

Splendour never fade

Six months

What a joy

What a change

What a blessed release

And what a masquerade

Think of it

A secret engagement

Look - your future bride

Just think of it

But why is it secret

What have we to hide

Please let's not fight

Christine you're free

Wait till the time is right When will that be

It's an engagement

Not a crime

Christine

What are you

Afraid of

Let's not argue

Let's not argue

Please pretend

I can only hope I'll

You will

understand

In time Masquerade

Paper faces on parade

Masquerade

Hide your face

So the world will

Never find you

Masquerade

Every face a different shade

Masquerade

Look around -

There's another

Mask behind you

Masquerade

Burning glances

Turning heads

Masquerade

Stop and stare

At the sea of smiles

Around you

Masquerade

Grinning yellows

Spinning reds

Masquerade

Take your fill -

Let the spectacle

Astound you
