Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation 00:01

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination 00:10

Silently the senses abandon their defences 00:20

00:30

Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour 00:38

00:47

Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender 00:52

Turn your face away from the garish light of day 01:01

Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light 01:09

And listen to the music of the night 01:18

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams 01:25

Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before 01:32

Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar 01:39

And you'll live as you've never lived before 01:57

Softly, deftly music shall caress you 02:09

Hear it, feel it secretly possess you 02:19

Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind 02:28

In this darkness that you know you cannot fight 02:35

The darkness of the music of the night 02:44

Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world 02:52

Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before 02:57

Let your soul take you where you long to be 03:04

Only then can you belong to me 03:17

03:26

Floating, falling sweet intoxication 03:31

Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation 03:42

Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in 03:52

To the power of the music that I write 04:00

The power of the music of the night 04:09

You alone can make my song take flight 04:44

Help me make the music of the night 04:53

Lyrics:

[English]

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 thoughts away from cold unfeeling light

And listen to the music of the night

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams

Purge your thoughts of the life 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 that 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

...
