Music of the Night (From "Phantom of the Opera")

Music of the Night (From "Phantom of the Opera") - Orlando Pops Orchestra/Orlando Pops Singers/Andrew Lane

Night time sharpens

Heightens each sensation

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination

Silently the senses abandon their defenses

Slowly gently night unfurls it's splendor

Grasp it sense it tremulous and tender

Turn your face away from

The garish light of day

Turn your thoughts away from cold

Unfeeling light

And listen to the music of the night

Close your eyes and

Surrender to your darkest dreams

Purge your thoughts of

The life you knew before

Close your eyes

Let your spirit start to soar

And you'll live as you've

Never lived before

Softly deftly music shall caress you

Hear it feel it secretly possess you

Open up your mind

Let your fantasies unwind

In this darkness that you

Know you can not fight

The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey

Though a strange new world

Leave all thoughts of the

World 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 savor 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 music of the night
