The Phantom's Rose

Angel of music, I cry at night.
Angel of sorrow, hidden from man's sight.
Will this angel ever know true love do you suppose?
The Phantom's only friend, a single red rose.

He listens to her sing, the woman he loves.
She is his angel sent from heaven above.
He sends her a rose with a velvet ribbon of black.
Hoping his true love will win her heart back.

A mask hides a face that no one will love.
Bur his voice is a wonder no one has heard of.
No one would listen, the angel of music sings.
His music of the night to the world he wishes to bring.

As she walks out of his life with the man she loves.
His heart breaks once more as she returns to the world above.
As the Phantom's rose is crushed and torn apart.
A lonely man's spirit dies of a broken heart.
