Music Of The Night Lyrics - Phantom Of The Opera

Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation 

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination 

Silently the senses abandon their defenses 

Slowly, gently night unfurls it's splendor 

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 your thoughts of the life 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 to 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 

You alone can make my song take flight 

Help me make the music of the night
