Music of the Night - (Phantom of the Opera)
Night-time sharpens,
Heightens each sensation...
Darkness stirs
And wakes imagination...
Silently their 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...
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 it 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 darkest side give in
To the power of
The music that I write
The power of
The music of the night...
