Lyrics of The Music Of The Night by Michael Crawford
verse
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness winks and stirs imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write
Or I compose the music of the night
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Hearin′ is the lyric, music is deceivin'
Hard as lightin′ soft as candlelight
There you trust the music of the night
chorus
Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
And the truth isn't what you want to see
In my dark it is easy to pretend
That the truth is what it want to be
verse
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
chorus
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
verse
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
outro
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night
Writer(s): Andrew Lloyd-webber, Richard Stilgoe, Charles Hart
