Phantom Of The Opera
Music of the night

M:
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the Music of the Night

F:
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender

M & F:
Hearing is believing, music is decieving,
Hard as lightning, soft as candlelight,

M:
Dare you trust the Music of the Night

F:
Close you eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth

M & F:
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.

M: Softly, F: deftly, M & F: music shall caress you
F: Hear it, M: feel it, M & F: 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
Close your eyes start a journey through a strange,
new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Close your eyes and let music set you Free....
Only then can you belong to me.
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
M: Touch me F: Touch me, M: trust me F: trust me, M & F: 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

M:
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night.
