MUSIC OF THE NIGHT

From musical The Phantom Of The Opera

Nighttime sharpens,

Heightens each sensation

Darkness stirs and

Wakes 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

Hardest lightning

Softest candle light

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 careress you

Fear 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

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
