Lyrics Music Of The Night (From The Phantom Of The Opera) - Colm Wilkinson
Nighttime
sharpens,
heightens
each
sensation
Darkness
stirs
and
wakes
imagination
Silently
the
senses
abandon
their
defenses
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
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
posess
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
life
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
