This is my guitar transcription of my song, and just happens to be my first tab,
would be nice. I have the time changes and key changes written in.

Here's the same tab again, only I've put it with the words, so you can sing along if you know the rythym.
Night time shar-pens, height-ens each sen-sa-tion:
dark-ness stirs and wakes im-ag-in-a-tion.
(instrumental break)(2/4) (4/4)
Slow-ly gent-ly, night un-furls its splen-dour;
grasp it, sense it, trem-u-lous and ten-der.
Turn your face a-way from the gar-ish light of day, turn your
[(2/4)]
thoughts a-way from cold, un-feel-ing light and
[(4/4)]
lis-ten to the mu-sic of the night. Close your

eyes and sur-ren-der to your dark-est dreams! Purge your
(key of D-flat)
thoughts of the life you knew be-fore! Close your
(hold + opt. gva)
eyes let your spi-rit start to soar and you'll
live as you've ne-ver lived be-fore.
Soft-ly, deft-ly, mu-sic shall ca-ress you.
Hear it, feel it, se-cret-ly po-ssess you.
O-pen up your mind, let your fan-ta-sies un-wind in this

dark-ness which you know you can-not fight the

dark-ness of the mu-sic of the night. Let your

thoughts of the world you knew be-fore. Let your

soul take you where you long to be! On-ly
then can you be-long to me.

Here's just the lyrics:
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 thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
and listen to the music of the night.
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life 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 posseess you.
Open up your mind let your fantasies unwind
in this darkness that 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 be!
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 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.
And finally I'll give you the lyrics with general chords in case you just want to strum along.

Sorry the chords are so hairy and un-guitar friendly, but that's what Webber wrote. I'd
using a capo on this song so you don't kill your hands. Enjoy!
would be nice. I have the time changes and key changes written in.

Here's just the lyrics:
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 thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
and listen to the music of the night.
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life 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 posseess you.
Open up your mind let your fantasies unwind
in this darkness that 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 be!
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 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.
And finally I'll give you the lyrics with general chords in case you just want to strum along.

Sorry the chords are so hairy and un-guitar friendly, but that's what Webber wrote. I'd
using a capo on this song so you don't kill your hands. Enjoy!
