The Music of the Night Lyrics

Night time sharpens heightens each sensation...
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night...
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour.
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing music is deceiving
Hard as lightning soft as candlelight
dare you trust the music of the night...

Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
And the truth isn't what you want to see.
In the dark it is easy to pretend
that the truth is what it ought to be.
Softly, deftly music shall caress you...
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you...

Open up your mind let your fantasies unwind
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight
- the darkenss of the music of the night...

Close your eyes start a journey through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you kenw before!
Close your eyes and let music set you free...
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...
