Lyrics

Night time sharp ens, height ens each sen sa tion; dark ness stirs and wakes i mag i na tion.

Si lent ly the sen ses a ban don their de fen ces.

Slow ly, gen tly, night un furls its splen dour; grasp it, sense it, trem u lous and ten der.

Turn your face a way from the gar ish light of day, turn your thoughts a way from cold, un feel ing light and lis ten to the mu sic of the night.

Close your eyes and sur ren der to your dark est dreams!

Purge your thoughts of the life you knew be fore!

Close your eyes, let your spir it start to soar

and you’ll live as you’ve nev er lived be fore.

night.

You a lone can make my song take flight,

help me make the mu sic of the night.
