Think of Me

CHRISTINE Think of me think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye. Remember me once in a while - please promise me you'll try.
CHRISTINE When you find that, once again, you long to take your heart back and be free - if you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me
(Transformation to the Gala. CHRISTINE is revealed in full costume)
We never said our love was evergreen, or as unchanging as the sea - but if you can still remember stop and think of me . . .
Think of all the things we've shared and seen - don't think about the things which might have been . . .
Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind.
Recall those days look back on all those times, think of the things we'll never do - there will never be a day, when I won't think of you . .
(Applause, bravos. Prominent among the bravos, those of the young RAOUL in the MANAGERS' box)
RAOUL Can it be? Can it be Christine?
Bravo!
(he raises his opera-glasses)
What a change! You're really not a bit the gawkish girl that once you were...
(lowering his opera-glasses)
She may not remember me, but I remember her...
CHRISTINE We never said our love was evergreen, or as unchanging as the sea - but please promise me, that sometimes you will think of me!
