Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Nighttime 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 face away from cold, unfeeling light

And listen to the music of the night

Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams

 Purge all thoughts of the world 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 through 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
