Lyrics Music of the Night - London Theatre Orchestra

Nighttime 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 in you 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
Feel it, hear 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

Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the life in you 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
