Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
[Verse 2]
Slowly, gently, night unveils its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your face away from cold unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
[Verse 3]
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Leave all thought of the world you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to go
Only then can you belong to me
[Verse 6]
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the harmony which dreams alone can write
The power of the music of the night
[Verse 7]
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night
Written by: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Charles Hart, Richard Stilgoe
