night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
darkness stirs and wakes imagination
silently the senses abandon their defences...

slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
grasp it, sense it, tremolous 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 world you knew before !
close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar -
and you'lllive as you've never lived before...

softly, deftly,music shall caress you
hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
open up your mind, let your phantasies 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

(from "The Phantom of the Opera" by Andrew Lloyd Webber)
