Music Of The Night (from "The Phantom Of The Opera")

Music Of The Night - Colm Wilkinson

Nighttime sharpens

Heightens each sensation

Darkness stirs and

Wakes Imagination

Silently the senses abandon their defenses

Helpless to resist the notes I write

For I compose the music of the night

Slowly gently

Night unfurls It's splendour

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 you 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 posses 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 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 the

Music of the night
