I've watched the musical version of the Phantom of the Opera .... lemme think ... that was more than a decade ago (I'm getting old). The movie version was released recently and I haven't had a chance to see it yet - hopefully will get the chance soon. Most of the music in the movie is the same as in the musical, with the exception of this new song by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It was nominated for an Oscar - didn't win though - and Beyonce sang it at the awards show last night (in the movie it was sung by Minnie Driver).
Learn to be Lonely
Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion
Ever dreamed out in the world
There are arms to hold you?
You've always known
Your heart was on its own
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone
Learn to be lonely
Life can be lived
Life can be loved
Alone.
I watched Oscar yesterday too!! The show yesterday was great!
I'm looking for the better fare to go back to Dallas on the beginning of May. I guess I'll have 1 1/2 day holiday at that time so that I can stay in Dallas for at least 3 days!
I was thinking going back earlier, but I don't have vacation, so... Wait for me wait for me!!! I'll be there soon!!!
