Song | Music Of The Night |
Artist | John Owen-Jones |
Album | John Owen-Jones |
From the musical “The Phantom of the Opera” | |
Night-time 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 your 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 to a strange, new world | |
Leave all thoughts of the world 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… |
