Music of the Night
From Phantom of the Opera
(For all of those who play piano also and hate transposing.)
Db Ab Db Ab
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Gb Db Gb Db
Silently the senses abandon their defences

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Db Ab Gb Ab
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Gb Db Gb Db
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Gb B Gb Db
Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light
Gb Ab7 Db
And listen to the music of the night

Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams

Purge all thoughts of the world you knew before
Ab Ab7 Db
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
Fm C F
And you'll live as you've never lived before
Db Ab Db Ab
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Db Ab Gb Ab
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Gb Db Gb Db
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
Gb B Gb Db
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
Gb Ab7 Db
The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
A Eb
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Ab Ab7 Db
Let your soul take you where you long to be

Only then can you belong to me
Db Ab Db Ab
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Db Ab Gb Ab
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Gb Db Gb Db
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
Gb B Gb Db
To the power of the music that I write
Gb Ab7 Db
The power of the music of the night
Ab Db Ab Db Ab Gb Ab7 Gb D Gb Db
Gb B Gb Db
You alone can make my song take flight
Gb Ab7 Gb Dbm Cm C Db
Help me make the music of the night
