THE MUSIC OF THE NIGHT Lyrics

Michael 

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 composed the music of the night! 

Barbra 

Slowly, gently 

Night unfurls its splendor. 

Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender. 

Both 

Hearing is believing, music is deceiving, 

Hard as lightning, soft as candle light, 

Michael 

Dare you trust the music of the night... 

Barbra 

Close your eyes, 

For your eyes will only tell the truth, 

Both 

And the truth isn't what you want to see. 

In the dark it is easy to pretend 

That the truth is what it ought to be... 

Michael 

Softly, 

Barbra 

Deafening, 

Both 

Music shall caress you. 

Barbra 

Hear it, 

Michael 

Feel it, 

Both 

Secretly posses you... 

Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind, 

In this darkness which you know you cannot fight, 

The darkness of the music of the night... 

Close your eyes start a journey through a strange new world 

Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! 

Close your eyes and let music set you free! 

Only then can you belong to me... 

Floating (floating), falling (falling) 

Sweet intoxication! 

Touch me (touch me), trust 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! 

Barbra 

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah... 

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah... 

Ah-ah-ah... 

Aaaaaaaaaah...oooh... 

Michael 

You alone can make my song take flight, 

Help me make the music of the night... 

Barbra 

Help me make the music of the night...
