Sarah Brightman - The music of the night lyrics

Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination

Silently the senses abandon their defences

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 face away from cold, unfeeling light

And listen to the music of the night

Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams

Leave all thoughts of the world 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 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

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 go

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 harmony which dreams alone can 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
