The lyric that I sang corresponds with the single/music video version. I couldn't actually sing the version that was in the show. Literally, physically, it wouldn't work. We tried the single version which matches all of the lyrics in my recording. That was much easier, and much more exciting to sing. Everytime I hear the "Phantom" score, I wonder how much of a missed opportunity it really was for Jim. "Phantom", to me, is the ultimate Steinman story. Even more than "Neverland"
