• The Phantom : Phoenix, no one will sing in this Paradise again. No one's ever gonna sing my "Faust" again. No one but you. Phoenix, leave this place or Swan will destroy you too!

  Phoenix : You're crazy! Why should I go with you? Don't you hear them down there? Why should I give that up?

  The Phantom : They want more now. They want much more. They want more than you could ever give.

  Phoenix : I'll give them whatever they want!

• Swan : Phoenix, Swan here. I want you to answer a question for me.

  Phoenix : Yes.

  Swan : What would you give me to sing?

  Phoenix : Anything you wanted.

  Swan : Anything? Would you give me... your voice?

  Phoenix : Try me.

• Phoenix : [singing]  Our love is an old love, baby, it's older than all our years. I have seen in strange young eyes, familiar tears. We're old souls in a new life, baby. They gave us a new life to live and learn. Some time to touch old friends and still return. Our paths have crossed and parted, this love affair was started long, long ago. This love survives the ages, in it story lives are pages. Fill them up, may ours turn slow. Our love is a strong love, baby, we give it all and still receive. And so with empty arms, we must still believe. All souls last forever so we need never fear goodbye. A kiss when I must go... no tears... in time... we kiss hello.

• Phoenix : [singing]  Caught up in your wheelin' dealin', you've got no time left for simple feelin'. I thought I knew you, but I didn't know you at all. Trapped inside you world of worry, you miss so much when you always hurry. Well, slow down, baby, you'll only get hurt if you'll fall. Well, you told me one time that you'd be somebody. That you weren't workin' just to survive. But you're workin' so hard that you don't even know you're alive. Workin' so hard to be somebody special, not working just to survive. Well, you're special to me, babe. But what I don't see, babe, is where you go once you arrive. Where we go once we arrive.

• Phoenix : [singing]  Then all the evil that takes poesssion until your pipe dreams become obesssions. They scare me, baby, and we should have nothing to fear. I'm no child, but I can't help wonder it seems like some kind of spell you're under. You're listening, baby, but somehow you don't really hear. Well, you told me one time that you'd be somebody. That you weren't workin' just to survive. But you're workin' so hard that you don't even know you're alive. Workin' so hard to be somebody special, not working just to survive. Well, you're special to me, babe. But what I don't see, babe, is where we go once we arrive. Where you go once you arrive.
