[Capo2]
[Verse]
[C] Nighttime [G] sharpens, [C] heightens each [G] sensation
[C] Darkness [G] stirs and [F] wakes imagin[G] imagination
[F] Silently the [C] senses a[F] abandon their de[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] before[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]
