Andrew Lloyd Webber - Till I Hear You Sing Lyrics

Ten long years
Living a mere facade of life
Ten long years
Wasting my my time on smoke and noise
In my mind
I hear melodies pure and unearthly
But I find I can't give them a voice without you

My Christine
My Christine
Lost and gone
Lost and gone

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 nighttime
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 always feel no more than halfway real
Till I hear you sing once more
