David Archuleta’s song for tonight’s American Idol is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Think of Me from the Phantom of Opera. Here goes the lyrics:
think of me
think of me fondly
when we’ve said goodbye
remember me every so often
promise me you’ll try
nn that day – that not so distant day
when you are far away and free
if you ever find a moment
spare a thought for me
Carly Smithson picked Jesus Christ Superstar as they sing Andrew Lloyd Webber’s song. Here’s the lyrics:
Every time I look at you
I don’t understand
Why you let the things you did
Get so out of hand
You’d have managed better
If you’d had it planned
Now why’d you choose such a backward time
And such a strange land?

It is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s night on American Idol. Here’s the Music of the Night lyrics to be sung by David Cook:
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
