I've bracketed all changed lyrics.
Night time sharpens heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
(in that order, in the other version they are reversed)
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
[Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night] **OMITTED**
Slowly gently night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it sense it tremulous and tender
[Hearing is believing music is deceiving
Hard as lightning soft as candlelight
Dare you trust the music of the night]
(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 [for your eyes
will only tell the truth
And truth isn't what you
want to see In the dark
It's easy to pretend
That the truth is
what it ought to be]
(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 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] (Let your mind)
Start a journey to
A strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
[Close your eyes and let music set you free]
(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
Only you can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the
Night
