The Music of the Night Songtext
von Barbra Streisand

Night-time sharpens
Heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I composed the music of the night

Slowly, gently
Night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender

Hearing is believing, music is deceiving
Hard as lightning, soft as candle light

There 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

Deafening


Music shall caress you

Hear it

Feel it

Secretly posses 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 (floating), falling (falling)
Sweet intoxication
Touch me (touch me), trust me (trust me)
Savor 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

Help me make the music of the night
