Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation 
C5        G5         F5           G5 
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination 
F5            C5       F5              C5 
Silently the senses abandon their defences

C5       G5       C5                 G5 
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour 
C5         G5         F5             G5 
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender 
F5              C5             F5               C5 
Turn your face away from the garish light of day 
          F5              Bb5    F5         C5 
Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light 
F5                 G5           C5 
And listen to the music of the night 
 

Bb5                                   Eb5 
Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams 
          Ab5                             D5     D5 
Purge all thoughts of the world you knew before 
           G5              G5              C5 
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar 
           E5             B5           E5 
And you'll live as you've never lived before 
 

C5       G5       C5           G5 
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you 
C5        G5        F5        G5 
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you 
F5            C5              F5         C5 
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind 
        F5                  Bb5       F5      C5 
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight 
    F5               G5           C5 
The darkness of the music of the night 
 

         Bb5                             Eb5 
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world 
          Ab5                             D5 
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before 
         G5             G5                C5 
Let your soul take you where you long to be 
     E5       B5             E5 
Only then can you belong to me 
 

C5         G5        C5     G5 
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication 
C5         G5         F5           G5 
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation 
F5             C5               F5           C5 
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in 
       F5            Bb5    F5      C5 
To the power of the music that I write 
F5                G5           C5 
The power of the music of the night 
 

G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 F5 G5 F5 C5 F5 C5 
 
F5             Bb5      F5         C5 
You alone can make my song take flight 
F5                G5           F5     D5 Db5 B5 C5 
Help me make the music of the night
