The Music of the Night

Lyricist: Tim Rice     Composer: Andrew Lloyd Webber

The Music Of The Night

Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to the ease now I write
For I compose the music of the night
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
During his believing
Music his feeling
Hardness light the softest candlelight
There's you trust music of the night
Close you eyes for your eye belonging careful
And told listen what you want to see
In the darkest it isn't talk to break heart
The dark lord isn't want talk to me

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 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 of the night
The power of the music of the night

-----Instrument-----

Let your dream begin let you darker side can feel
To the power of music I've write
Help me make the music of the night
