Nighttime 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 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 all thoughts of the life you knew before
|
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
|
And you'll live 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 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 life 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
|
