The Music of the Night - Phantom of the Opera


Db         Ab
Night time sharpens,
Db                Ab
heightens each sensation;
Db       Ab
darkness stirs and
Gb          Ab
wakes imagination.
Gb           Db
Silently the senses
 Gb             Db
abandon their defenses.

Gb  Cb  Gb  Db  Ebm  Fm


Db      Ab
Slowly, gently,
Db                 Ab
night unfurls it’s splendor;
Db        Ab
grasp it, sense it,
Gb            Ab
tremulous and tender.
Gb              Db
Turn your face away
         Gb              Db
from the garish light of day,
          Gb
turn your thoughts away from
Cb      Gb      Db
cold, unfeeling light
    Gb            Ab           Db
and listen to the music of the night.


           B
Close your eyes
                      E
and surrender to your darkest dreams!
           A
Purge your thoughts
                       Eb
of the life you knew before!
Eb         Ab
Close your eyes,
         Ab              Db
let your spirit start to soar
           Fm
and you’ll live
          C             F
as you’ve never lived before.


Db      Ab
Softly, deftly,
Db            Ab
music shall caress you.
Db       Ab
Hear it, feel it,
Gb          Ab
secretly possess you.
Gb           Db
Open up your mind, let your
Gb          Db           Gb
fantasies unwind in this darkness
          Cb       Gb     Db
which you know you cannot fight,
    Gb
the darkness of the
Ab           Db
music of the night.


         B
Let your mind start a journey
          E
through a strange, new world;
          A
leave all thoughts of the
                Eb
life you knew before.
         Ab
Let your soul take you
Ab                Db
where you long to be!
     Fm       C
Only then can you belong
   F
to me.


Db        Ab
Floating, falling,
Db          Ab
sweet intoxication.
Db        Ab
Touch me, trust me,
Gb            Ab
savor each sensation.
Gb              Db
Let the dream begin, let your
Gb               Db
darker side give in to the
Gb           Cb    Gb     Db
power of the music that I write,
    Gb           Ab           Db
the power of the music of the night.


Ab  Db  Ab  Db  Ab  Gb  Ab  Gb  Db  Gb  Db


Gb            Cb      Gb
You alone can make my song
     Db
take flight,
Gb               Ab
help me make the music of the
Gb        Ebm  Dm  C  Db
night.
