Why Are These Lines Missing?

[gerran]

This is just a little question of curiosity. I have listened to the Original London and the Original Canadian soundtracks, and in the song “the Phantom of the Opera,” there are the lines:

Phantom:

In all your fantasies you always knew,

That man, that mystery,

Christine:

Were both in you.

Phantom and Christine:

And in this labyrinth where night is blind,

The Phantom of the Opera is there

Inside my/your mind.

Why didn’t they sing those lines in the song “the Phantom of the Opera” in the movie?

AHhh but they did--- just not in the same place-- Pay attention to when Christine and Raoul are on the roof singing before phantom crushes the rose-

movies can take liberties and change things around- I think in the special features on the dvd Joel Shumaker explained why it was shortened in one place ant put in another.

I had heard that certain songs were shortened for time constraints. (Bastids!)
