Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the fences abandon their defenses Helpless to resist the notes I write For I compose the music of the night Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor Grasp it, sense it, trend new lust and temper 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 Put your thoughts out on 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 that 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 those thoughts out on life you knew before Let yourself take it where you want to go Only then can you belong to me Floating, falling, sweet intoxication Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation Let the dream begin, let your darkest side give in To the power of the music that will ride The power of the music of the night You alone can make my song take flight Help me make the music of the night You alone can make the music of the night
