Love Never Dies – Till I Hear You Sing Once More – Lyrics by Glenn Slater
The day starts, the day ends
Time crawls by
Night steals in, pacing the floor
The moments creep,
Yet I can’t bear to sleep
Till I hear you sing
And weeks pass, and months pass
Seasons fly
Still you don’t walk through the door
And in a haze
I count the silent days
Till I hear you sing once more.
And sometimes at night time
I dream that you are there
But wake holding nothing but the empty air
And years come, and years go
Time runs dry
Still I ache down to the core
My broken soul
Can’t be alive and whole
Till I hear you sing once more
And music, your music
It teases at my ear
I turn and it fades away and you’re not here
Let hopes pass, let dreams pass
Let them die
Without you, what are they for?
I’ll always feel
No more than halfway real
Till I hear you sing once more

Oh, the song is absolutely beautiful. Ramin did an excellent job with it!

Beautiful tune, beautiful lyrics. ALW at his best again. If only I were Christine…sigh

I was EXTREMELY skeptical of this project until I heard this song. Am now unspeakably excited to see what else ALW and Glenn Slater have in store for us! Beautiful song, and Ramin gave a great rendition.

Hi, Till I hear you sing is an amazing song! I love it. I was wondering if the sheet music is already available anyhow?

Beautiful, beautiful song. I can’t wait for the whole cast album to be released in 2010!

I was so not looking forward to this when Phantom of Manhattan kept popping up as influence, but now I can admit I am excited as everyone else. I would kill to get my hands on the libretto!

I am like many and was skeptical of what a new Phantom might mean, and yet many have also been very curious as to what happens between the trio. I heard this song and my heart just melted. Bravo Ramin! I can’t wait to see what comes of this musical!

I am completely and utterly excited for this to be released on iTunes. None of my friends understand my enthusiasm. Oh, the woes of being a teenage Phanatic! This is amazing!

There are simply NO WORDS….
My VOCABULARY is just not VAST ENOUGH to DESCRIBE the BEAUTY of this SONG….
GORGEOUS–RAPTUROUS–COMPELLING–A SECRET DESIRE on PUBLIC DISPLAY….
Do these MERE WORDS do this song JUSTICE?
I am NOT SURE….

I am like the other Phans when they anounced a sequel taking place on Coney Island…then I heard this song. My heart melted and the ache I have for the Phantom grew. I think this will be ALW best work.
