think of me

I profess for some strange reason i recently got hooked onto American Idol(huh i'm supposed to be mugging!). Loved the version David Archuleta did for Phantom of the Operah's Think of Me.
Remembered watching the musical at Esplanade with WWF last year, I was so enthralled by the whole mysterious-ness, robustness and gentleness of the atmosphere, the dialogue, the singing and the scenes (the unforgettable dungeon scene and the one where the phantom vanished from his throne toward the end) The original itself is realllly such a sweet sweet song! sighs.


Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me, once in a while,
please promise me you'll try.
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.
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 . .

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them,
Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I am awake, I am still with you.
Psalm 139:17-18

"My thoughts toward you are countless as the sand on the seashore."
