The Music Of The Night Song Lyrics

Phantom:

Night-time sharpens,

heightens each sensation

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination

Silently the senses abandon their defences ...

Slowly, gently night unfurls its 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 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 surround you ...

Feel it, hear it,

closing in around 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 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 . . .
