Music of the Night Lyrics

Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defensesSlowly, gently night unfurls its splendor
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 nightClose 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 live as you've never lived beforeSoftly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness that you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the nightLet your mind start a journey to 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 meFloating, 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 nightYou alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night
