C          G         C              G
Night time 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 splendor
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 thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
    F             G7           C
And listen to the music of the night


           Bb                        Eb
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
           Ab                              D   D7
Purge your thoughts of the life 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 surround you
C        G        F           G
Feel it, hear it, closing in around 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   D7
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, savor 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    G
The power of the music of the night…
  C   G     C   G     F   G7

You alone can make my song take flight

Help me make the music of the night
