Gustave it's alright it's me
Gustave please take him away
I'm so sorry
Please forgive him he meant no harm
How could you think I wouldn't guess
What do you mean
How could you think I wouldn't know
Oh no
Do you have something to confess
Please don't make me
I want the truth right now if so
Once upon another time
You went off and left me alone
But that's not all you did
You left me with a son
Ever since that other time
I wished how I wished you'd have known
I kept the secret hid the secret my marriage forbid
What else could I have done
Just live
Our son
Just live
My son
Just give what I could give
And take what little I deserve
My own flesh and blood
And even he recoils in horror from me
Just like his mother
Forgive me I beg you if you can
I've brought you nothing but woe
Tomorrow night I'll sing with all my might
Sing for you again then we'll go
From out of ugliness such light
From out of darkness such a flame
In him my wrongness is made right
And yet he loathes me just the same
So let him shun me in disgust
Let him flee this cursed face
If I must hide from him I must
Yet shall he be my saving grace
Oh Christine my Christine
If it's true I've no reason to live
Then Christine then our boy
Shall have all I can give
Ah Christine
All I create>
