Words and Music by Andrew Lloyd
Weber and Charles Hart
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 ... 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 thier
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 ...
You alone can
make my song take flight - help me make the music of the
night ...
