The Music Of The Night Lyrics

    Nighttime 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 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 you 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 caress 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

    Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
    Leave all thoughts of the life 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
