Words,

Music

and

... the night

"Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation . . .
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination . . .
Silently the senses abandon their defences . . ."

say the words with a whisper , savour them

"Slow-ly, gent-ly night unfurls its splendour . . .
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender . . .

Softly, deftly, (whisper)
music shall caress you . . .
Hear it, f e e el 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 . . ."

Magical, tinglingly sensuous aren't they? The words from "Music of the Night" from The Phantom of the Opera ~ my favourite movie and CD at the moment.
Do you light a candle when the sun goes down, when outside beyond your window, all is hushed, shadows lengthen and grow deeper. When its just you, your music, and the night ~ do you lay there in the soft candlelight glow and float away on your dreams? Music can do that, it can close off the world, lift you ... carry you away. This is one song that can do that for me.
