You alone can make my song take flight
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor
Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Songwriters: Charles Hart, Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Richard Stilgoe
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
The power of the music of the night
To the harmony which dreams alone can write
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation

Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
The darkness of the music of the night
Only then can you belong to me
And you'll live as you've never lived before
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
And listen to the music of the night
Let your soul take you where you long to go
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Help me make the music of the night
