The Music of the Night - Piano

Me playing the Music of the Night from Act 1 of Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera.

Lyrics
Nighttime sharpens,
heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses,
abandon their defenses

Slowly, gently,
night unfurls its splendor
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 to 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, 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
