Music of the Night [From Phantom of the Opera] - Music of the Night [From Phantom of the Opera] lyrics

(Phantom) 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 Hearing is believing Music is deceiving 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. 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 through 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 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... Come we must return - Those two fools Who run my theatre Will be missing you...
