Music of the Night Andrew Lloyd Webber
Music of the Night
From Phantom of the Opera
(For all of those who play piano also and hate transposing.)
[C#]Nighttime s[Ab]harpens, he[C#]ightens each sen[Ab]sation
[C#]Darkness s[Ab]tirs and wa[F#]kes imaginati[Ab]on
[F#]Silently the s[C#]enses aba[F#]ndon their defen[C#]ces
[F#] [B] [F#] [C#] [Ebm] [Fm]
[C#]Slowly, g[Ab]ently, ni[C#]ght unfurls its spl[Ab]endour
[C#]Grasp it, s[Ab]ense it, tr[F#]emulous and ten[Ab]der
[F#]Turn your face a[C#]way from the ga[F#]rish light of day[C#]
Turn your [F#]face away from c[B]old, [F#]unfeeling l[C#]ight
[F#]And listen to the m[Ab7]usic of the ni[C#]ght
[B]Close you eyes and surrender to your[E] darkest dreams
Purge all [A]thoughts of the world you knew[Eb] before[Eb7]
Close your [Ab]eyes, let your s[Ab7]pirit start to so[C#]ar
And you'll [Fm]live as you've [C]never lived [F]before
[C#]Softly, def[Ab]tly, music [C#]shall caress you[Ab]
[C#]Hear it, f[Ab]eel it, sec[F#]retly possess[Ab] you
[F#]Open up your m[C#]ind, let [F#]your fantasies u[C#]nwind
In this [F#]darkness which you k[B]now you [F#]cannot f[C#]ight
The [F#]darkness of the m[Ab7]usic of the ni[C#]ght
Let your [B]mind start a journey through a[E] strange, new world
Leave all [A]thoughts of the world you knew[Eb] before
[Ab]Let your soul [Ab7]take you where you [C#]long to be
Only [Fm]then can [C]you belong to [Fm]me[A]
[C#]Floating, f[Ab]alling, sw[C#]eet int[Ab]oxication
[C#]Touch me, t[Ab]rust me, sa[F#]vour each sen[Ab]sation
[F#]Let the dream b[C#]egin, let your da[F#]rker side giv[C#]e in
To the [F#]power of the m[B]usic [F#]that I w[C#]rite
[F#]The power of the m[Ab7]usic of the ni[C#]ght
[Ab] [C#] [Ab] [C#] [Ab] [F#] [Ab7] [F#] [D] [F#] [C#]
[F#]You alone can m[B]ake my [F#]song take f[C#]light
[F#]Help me make the m[Ab7]usic of the ni[F#]ght[C#m] [Cm] [C] [C#]
