Band: Webber Andrew Lloyd
Album: The Phantom of the Opera
Song: The Music of the Night

P H A N T O M					
 Night-time 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 you 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					
You knew before!				
Close your eyes,				
Let your spirit					
Start to soar!					
 And you'll live				
As you never lived before…			

Softly, deftly,					
Music shall surround you…			
Feel it, hear it,				
Closing in around 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 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…
