Andrew Lloyd Webber - Music Of The Night (The Phantom Of The Opera) lyrics

Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness wakes and stirs 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 feeling is believeing music is decieving hard as lightning, 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 and listen to the music of the night Softly, deftly, music shall carress 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, let the 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
