The Phantom Of The Opera- Gerard Butler music of the night Lyrics

Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
helpless to resist the notes I write
for I compose the music of the night.

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
here it is believing music is deceiving
hard as lighting soft as candle light
The day you trust the music of the night

Close you eyes for your eyes can only tell the truth
and the truth is not what you want to see
in the dark it is easy to pretend that the truth is what it aught to be

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly posess 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
