Music Of The Night Lyrics
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes write
The power of the music of the night
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendor
!rasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light
"nd listen to the music of the night
#lose your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
$urge your thoughts of the life you knew before
#lose your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
"nd you%ll li&e as you%&e ne&er li&ed before
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
n this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Let your mind start a 'ourney to a strange new world
Lea&e all thoughts of the life you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be
Only then can you belong to me
(loating, falling, sweet into)ication
Touch me, trust me, sa&or each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side gi&e in
To the power of the music that write
The power of the music of the night
*ou alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night

Think Of Me Lyrics
Think of me, think of me fondly
+hen we%&e said goodbye
-emember me once in a while
$lease promise me, you will try
+hen you%ll find that once again you long
To take your heart back and be free
f you%ll e&er find a moment
Spare a thought for me
+e ne&er said our lo&e was e&ergreen
Or as unchanging as the sea
0ut if you can still remember
Stop and think of me
Think of all the things
+e%&e shared and seen
Don%t think about the way
Things might ha&e been
Think of me, think of me waking
Silent and resigned
magine me trying too hard
To put you from my mind
-ecall those days, look back on all those times
Think of those things we%ll ne&er do
There will ne&er be a day
+hen won%t think of you
Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were
She may not remember me
0ut remember her
(lowers fade, the fruits of summer fade
They ha&e their seasons, so do we
0ut please promise me that sometimes
*ou will think of me

$rologue
Some folks dream of the wonders they%ll do
0efore their time on this planet is through
Some 'ust don%t ha&e anything planned
They hide their hopes and their heads in the sand
Now don%t say who is wrong, who is right
0ut if by chance you are here for the night
Then all need is an hour or two
To tell the tale of a dreamer like you
+e all dream a lot, some are lucky, some are not
0ut if you think it, want it, dream it
Then it%s real you are what you feel
0ut all that say, can be told another way
n the story of a boy who%s dream came true
"nd it could be you
