and listen to the music of the night... Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams! Silently the senses abandon their defenses. And you'll live as you've never lived before. Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes the imagination Silently the senses abandon their defences Helpless to resist the notes I write, For I compose the music of the night. Lyrics to 'Music Of The Night' by The Phantom of the Opera (Original London Cast): Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their defenses Helpless to resist the notes I write For I compose the music of the night Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender. The Music of the Night Lyrics. Darkness stirs and wakes imagination. Lyrics to 'Music Of The Night' by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor. Silently the senses abandon their defences. Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation. Darkness stirs and wakes imagination. Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar! Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation. Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! Lyrics to 'Music of the Night' by Ramin Karimloo. Softly, deftly, music shall caress you. Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you. Turn your face away from the garish light of day.
