C         G         C              G 
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation 
C        G         F           G 
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination 
F            C       F              C 
Silently the senses abandon their defences 
 

F Bb F C Dm Em 
 
C       G       C                 G 
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour 
C         G         F             G 
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender 
F              C             F               C 
Turn your face away from the garish light of day 
          F              Bb    F         C 
Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light 
F                 G7           C 
And listen to the music of the night 
 

Bb                                   Eb 
Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams 
          Ab                             D     D7 
Purge all thoughts of the world you knew before 
           G              G7              C 
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar 
           Em             B           E 
And you'll live as you've never lived before 
 

C       G       C           G 
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you 
C        G        F        G 
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you 
F            C              F         C 
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind 
        F                  Bb       F      C 
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight 
    F               G7           C 
The darkness of the music of the night 
 

         Bb                             Eb 
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world 
          Ab                             D 
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before 
         G             G7                C 
Let your soul take you where you long to be 
     Em       B             E 
Only then can you belong to me 
 

C         G        C     G 
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication 
C         G         F           G 
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation 
F             C               F           C 
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in 
       F            Bb    F      C 
To the power of the music that I write 
F                G7           C 
The power of the music of the night 
 

G C G C G F G7 F C F C 
 
F             Bb      F         C 
You alone can make my song take flight 
F                G7           F     Dm Dbm B C 
Help me make the music of the night
