The Music of the Night - Happy New Year!

The Music of the Night - Happy New Year! 

Many of you will recognize this song from Phantom of the Opera.  There is something incredibly sweet and inspirational about the way these boys (Teatro) sing this song.  I thought it was a wonderful song to welcome in the New Year this evening.  I hope it brings a smile to your face as it did mine.  I'm including the lyrics, because they're just so meaningful... engage your senses and sing along :)))

The Music of the Night - Happy New Year Everyone!

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

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.

Let your mind start a journey
through a strange new world
Leave 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.

Floating, falling sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me savor 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.

Peter ~ Your words flow off the page as magically as the song flows off these boys lips ;)  Thanks for being one of my faithful readers... I always enjoy your comments!  Namaste

I hope 2012 surpasses all of our expectations Gabe.  Blessings my friend!

Thanks Gary!  I've enjoyed your encourging and uplifting posts and comments this year.  The best and happiest New Year to you too!

One of the highlights of 2011 was meeting you sweet lady!  I've so enjoyed getting to know you through your posts and videos... with Mac too!  You are an extremely talented gal Debb, and I hope 2012 brings you every good wish you can imagine ;) 

Alexandra & Ron ~ You two are such a joy to know (virtually) and I too, hope that we have an opportunity to meet in person this year.  Your message is inspiring, your posts & pics are always sensational and thought provoking, and your lifestyle is incredibly inviting (all those beach walks).  Many blessings to both of you in this New Year!
