The Music Of The Night - From "The Phantom Of The Opera"
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences
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 face away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Put your thoughts of the world you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before
Softly, deftly, music shall surround you
Feel it, hear it, closing in around you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then, can you belong to me
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let your dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the harmony of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night!
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night...
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences
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 face away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Put your thoughts of the world you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before
Softly, deftly, music shall surround you
Feel it, hear it, closing in around you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then, can you belong to me
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let your dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the harmony of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night!
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night...
