The Music Of The Night (from The Phantom Of the Opera)
The Music Of The Night
Night time sharpens Heightens each sensation Darkness stirs And wakes imagination Silently the senses Abandon their defenses Helpless to resist the notes I write For I compose the music of the night
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
Close your eyes And surrender to your darkest dreams, Purge all thoughts of the life you knew before, Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar And you'll live like you've never lived before
Softly, deftly Music shall surround you Feel it, hear it Closing 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 the dream begin Let your darker side give in To the power of the music that I write The power of the music of the night
