Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
C G F G
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
F C F C
Silently the senses abandon their defences
F Bb F C Dm Em
C G C G
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
C G F G
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
F C F C
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
F Bb F C
Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light
F G7 C
And listen to the music of the night
Bb Eb
Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Ab D D7
Purge all thoughts of the world you knew before
G G7 C
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
Em B E
And you'll live as you've never lived before
C G C G
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
C G F G
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
F C F C
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
F Bb F C
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
F G7 C
The darkness of the music of the night
Bb Eb
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
Ab D
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
G G7 C
Let your soul take you where you long to be
Em B E
Only then can you belong to me
C G C G
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
C G F G
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
F C F C
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
F Bb F C
To the power of the music that I write
F G7 C
The power of the music of the night
G C G C G F G7 F C F C
F Bb F C
You alone can make my song take flight
F G7 F Dm Dbm B C
Help me make the music of the night
