You Are My Own Lyrics by Maury Yeston

Phantom: The American Musical Sensation (Premiere Cast Recording)

0

[Carriere]
Erik, you are my son
Do you know you're my son?
You became my whole life
When your life was begun
Do you know that the man who protected you
Always has been your father
[Erik]
Yes, I know I'm your son
And I more than surmised
I have known for some years that my eyes are your eyes
And I've wondered how long it would take you to tell me it's true
[Carriere]
Now that you know, I must tell you I'm grateful for you
[Erik]
No, it is I who am grateful to you, my father
[Both]
For the music alone
It's been worth all the pain
And a life of perpetual darkness and rain
[Carriere]
But inside you the light of the soul of your mother has shone
Erik, you are my son
And my boy
And my life
And my own
[Erik]
And... what did you think of it?
[Carriere]
Think of what?
[Erik]
Your infant's face
[Carriere]
Ah, it... could have been better
[Erik]
Remember the day I looked down into the water?
[Carriere]
Yes
[Erik]
I thought I'd seen a sea monster
[Carriere]
I remember
[Erik]
I had. That's the irony. And then for a while I thought I was only dreaming
[Carriere]
I went through that phase, too
[Erik]
Not a good face for a tenor, I remember thinking
[Carriere]
Not even for a baritone
[Erik]
It is a good voice, isn't it?
[Carriere]
Very good. You would have had a fine career
[Erik]
Will you bury me deep?
I must never be found
When at last I find sleep
And I'm cold in the ground
[Carriere]
Yes, I promise I'll never allow you to be on display
Erik, you are my son
[Erik]
I have known all along
[Carriere]
And the light of my life
[Erik]
I have known all along
[Carriere]
Erik, you are my son
And my boy
And my love
And my own!
