		Wishing you were somehow here again   You were once my one companion You were all that mattered You were once a friend and father Then my world was shattered   Wishing you were somehow here again Wishing you were somehow near Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed Somehow you would be here   Wishing I could hear your voice again Knowing that I never would Dreaming of you won't help me to do All that you dreamed I could   Passing bells and sculpted angels Cold and monumental Seem for you the wrong companions You were warm and gentle   Too many years fighting back tears Why can't the past just die?   Wishing you were somehow here again Knowing we must say goodbye Try to forgive, teach me to live Give me the strength to try   No more memories, no more silent tears No more gazing across the wasted years Help me say goodbye Help me say goodbye

 

The Music of the Night   written by Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber. Lyrics: Don Black, Charles Hart from the musical - Phantom of the Opera.   Sarah was to star both in London's west End and in the USA as Christine Daae.   This song appears on the following SB albums - Sarah Brightman Sings the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection and Surrender the Unexpected Songs, Classics and Diva.
		The Music of the Night   Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their 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 face away from cold, unfeeling light And listen to the music of the night   Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams Leave all thoughts of the world 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 caress you Hear it, feel 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   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 go 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 harmony which dreams alone can 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
