Cover art for Music of the Night lyrics by Phantom Of The Opera, The

THE LYRICS OF THIS SONG ARE WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! HOW COULD YOU!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD KNOW FOR I HAVE THE ALBEM AND SAW IT ONLY LAST WEEK (friday actualy but...)!!! HOW COULD YOU PUT THE WRONG LYRICS UP??????!?!?!?!?!?!

First of all, for the last two lines of the first stanza, The phantom says nothing because the only thing that rhymes with defenses is untenses, which isn't in the song.

second of all, no offense, but you totaly screwed up the entire second verse and you obviously just got the highlights version of the CD. I will write the correct lyrics here because i'm listening to The Music of the Night right now:

slowly, gently night unfurls its splendor 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

thirdly, you forgot the third verse, which i will write out here (it has a different melody, be warned):

Close your eyes and surrendor to your darkest dreams Purge all thoughts of the life in you before Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar and you'll live as you've never lived before.

The fourth stanza is ok, but there are a few problems:

softly, deafly, Music shall surround you feel it hear it closing in around you open up you 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 journy through a strange new world Leave all thoughts of the world you new before Let your soul take you where you long to be only then can you belong to me

The last stanza is a-ok, and i now relize it is not your fault but the Movie and the highlight's CD that the wrong titles and Lyrics are up everywhere. SEE THE SHOW. or at least get the real CD. trust me.
