Hold back the daytime Don't want to see the dawn The spell must not be broken So elusive, here then gone If peace and calm were energy This silence would shine bright So listen if you will, my friend To the music of the night
Let the fates and furies quarrel How the new day will proceed Let them end it all tomorrow If they'll grant me my reprieve In a silence as seductive As Circe's Sirens call The music of the night-time Will captivate us all
Silently drifting away Waking from dreams of the day You dark melody, you must stay
So vivid in the gloom now My thoughts in sharp relief Between an earth and sky so time-tied A sanctuary for the thief In the solitude of morning Before the sun begins his flight Let me stay a little longer In the music of the night
Silently drifting away Waking from dreams of the day You dark melody, you must stay
Music of the night Music of the night Music of the night
Music of the night Feel the music of the night Music of the night Music of the night Music of the night Feel the music Music of the night Music of the night
