Music of the Night (from "Phantom of the Opera")
Night-time sharpens, Heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes And stirs 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 splendor
Grasp it, sense it Tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing Music is deceiving
Hard as lightening, soft as candlelight
Dare 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 possess 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 to 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, Savor 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
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night.
