the music of the night ^*

• muzikalin cok etkileyici parcalarindan biridir, hayaletin soyledigi, cok cok guzel bir siirdir aslinda.
  
  i have brought you
  to the seat of sweet
  music’s throne . . .
  to this kingdom
  where all must pay
  homage to music . . .
  music . . .
  
  you have come here,
  for one purpose,
  and one alone . . .
  since the moment
  i first heard you sing,
  i have needed
  you with me,
  to serve me, to sing,
  for my music . . .
  my music . . .
  
  night-time sharpens,
  heightens each sensation . . .
  darkness stirs and
  wakes imagination . . .
  silently the senses
  abandon their defences . . .
  
  slowly, gently
  night unfurls its splendour . . .
  grasp it, sense it -
  tremulous and tender . . .
  turn your face away
  from the garish light of day,
  turn your thoughts away
  from cold, unfeeling light -
  and listen to
  the music of the night . . .
  
  close your eyes
  and surrender to your
  darkest dreams!
  purge your thoughts
  of the life
  you knew before!
  close your eyes,
  let your spirit
  start to soar!
  and you’ll live
  as you’ve never
  lived before . . .
  
  softly, deftly,
  music shall surround you . . .
  feel it, hear it,
  closing in around you . . .
  open up your mind,
  let your fantasies unwind,
  in this darkness which
  you know you cannot fight -
  the darkness of
  the music of the night . . .
  
  let your mind
  start a journey through a
  strange new world!
  leave all thoughts
  of the world
  you knew before!
  let your soul
  take you where you
  long to be !
  only then
  can you belong
  to me . . .
  
  floating, falling,
  sweet intoxication!
  touch me, trust me
  savour each sensation!
  let the dream begin,
  let your darker side give in
  to the power of the music that i write -
  the power of the music of the night . . .

  nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
  darkness stirs and wakes imagination
  silently the senses abandon their defences
  
  slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
  grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
  turn your face away from the garish light of day
  turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light
  and listen to the music of the night
  
  close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
  leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
  close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
  and you'll live as you've never lived before
  
  softly, deftly, music shall caress you
  hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
  open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
  in this darkness which you know you cannot fight
  the darkness of the music of the night
  
  let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
  leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
  let your soul take you where you long to go
  only then can you belong to me
  
  floating, falling, sweet intoxication
  touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
  let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
  to the harmony which dreams alone can write
  the power of the music of the night
  
  you alone can make my song take flight
  help me make the music of the night
• phantom mağarasına götürdüğü christine'i bu şarkı eşliğinde hipnotize eder..
• the phantom of the opera müzikalinden bir parça. charles hart yazmıştır sözleri. 3 ya da 4 değişik versiyonu daha vardır sözlerinin. bi diğeri de şu şekildedir:
  
  nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
  darkness stirs and wakes imagination
  silently the senses abandon their defenses
  helpless to resist the notes i write
  for i compose the music of the night
  
  slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
  grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
  hearing is believing
  music as deceiving
  hard as lightning, soft as candle light
  dare you trust the music of the night..
  
  close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
  and the truth isn't what you want to see
  in the dark it is easy to pretend..
  that the truth is what it ought to be...
  
  softly, deftly, music shall caress you
  hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
  open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
  in this darkness which you know you cannot fight
  the darkness of the music of the night
  
  close your eyes start a journey through a strange, new world
  leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
  close your eyes and let music set you free
  only then can you belong to me
  
  floating, falling, sweet intoxication
  touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
  let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
  to the power of the music that i write
  the power of the music of the night
  
  you alone can make my song take flight
  help me make the music of the night
