Music Of The Night Lyrics - The Phantom Of The Opera - Andrew Lloyd Webber

Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation 

Darkness stirs and wakes the imagination 

Silently the senses abandon their defences 

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 

Hearing is believing, music is deceiving 

Hard as lightning, soft as candlelight 

There you trust the music of the night

Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth 

And the truth isn't what you want to see, 

In the dark it is easy to pretend 

That the truth is what it ought to be. 

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you, 

Hear it, feel it, secretly posess 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 

Close your eyes start a journey through a strange, new world, 

Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before, 

Close your eyes and let music set you free, 

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 

You alone can make my song take flight 

Help me make the music of the night.
