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 splendor    Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender    Hearing is believing   Music is deceiving   Hard as lightning   Soft as candlelight   Dare you trust the music of the night      Close your eyes   For your eyes will only tell the truth    And the truth isn't what you want to see   In the dark it is easy to pretend   That the truth is what it ought to be      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       Close your eyes   Start a journey through a strange new world   Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before   Close your eyes   And let music set you free   Only then can you belong to me       Floating, falling, sweet intoxication    Touch me, trust me, savor 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
