the music of the night

"Music Of The Night" Lyrics

 

Andrew Lloyd Webber

 

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 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, daftly

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
