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.
