The Phantom of the Opera movie - Music of the Night lyrics

rate me

<br>

Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation.<br>

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination.<br>

Silently the senses abandon their defences<br>

<br>

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour.<br>

Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender.<br>

Turn your face away from the garish light of day,<br>

Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light -<br>

and listen to the music of the night...<br>

<br>

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!<br>

Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!<br>

Close your eyes,let your spirit start to soar!<br>

And you'll live as you've never lived before<br>

<br>

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you <br>

Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you <br>

Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,<br>

in this darkness that you know you cannot fight<br>

the darkness of the music of the night.<br>

<br>

Let your mind start a journey<br>

through a strange, new world!<br>

Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before!<br>

Let your soul take you where you long to be!<br>

Only then can you belong to me<br>

<br>

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!<br>

Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!<br>

Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in<br>

To the power of the music that I write<br>

The power of the music of the night<br>

<br>

You alone can make my song take flight<br>

Help me make the music of the night<br>

<br>
