[Verse]
[C]Nighttime [G]sharpens, [C]heightens each [G]sensation
[C]Darkness [G]stirs and [F]wakes [G]imagination
[F]Silently the [C]senses [F]abandon their [C]defences
[F] [Bb] [F] [C] [Dm] [Em]
[Chorus]
[C]Slowly, [G]gently, [C]night unfurls its [G]splendour
[C]Grasp it, [G]sense it, [F]tremulous and [G]tender
[F]Turn your face [C]away from the [F]garish light of [C]day
Turn your [F]face away from [Bb]cold, [F]unfeeling [C]light
[F]And listen to the [G7]music of the [C]night
[Verse]
[Bb]Close you eyes and surrender to your [Eb]darkest dreams
Purge all [Ab]thoughts of the world you knew [D][D7]before
Close your [G]eyes, let your [G7]spirit start to [C]soar
And you’ll [Em]live as you’ve [B]never lived [E]before
[Chorus]
[C]Softly, [G]deftly, [C]music shall [G]caress you
[C]Hear it, [G]feel it, [F]secretly [G]possess you
[F]Open up your [C]mind, let your [F]fantasies [C]unwind
In this [F]darkness which you [Bb]know you [F]cannot [C]fight
The [F]darkness of the [G7]music of the [C]night
[Verse]
Let your [Bb]mind start a journey through a [Eb]strange, new world
Leave all [Ab]thoughts of the world you knew [D]before
Let your [G]soul take you [G7]where you long to [C]be
Only [Em]then can [B]you belong to [E]me
[Chorus]
[C]Floating, [G]falling, [C]sweet [G]intoxication
[C]Touch me, [G]trust me, [F]savour each [G]sensation
[F]Let the dream [C]begin, let your [F]darker side [C]give in
To the [F]power of the [Bb]music [F]that I [C]write
[F]The power of the [G7]music of the [C]night
[G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [F] [G7] [F] [C] [F] [C]
[F]You alone can [Bb]make my [F]song take [C]flight
[F]Help me make the [G7]music of the [F]night [Dm] [Dbm] [B] [C]
