Night music

philip lacey 1956 (United Kingdom)



The chords ring out in a bell-like tone
Such a full rich sound from one man alone
His fingers weave from note to note  
As the drummer strikes the beat
The room begins to fill with sound
And the melody is sweet

Night music softly blowing
Night music gently flowing
Night music touching your heart and your soul
Touching your heart and your soul

As the song moves along
The storyline unfolds
Adventures in a distant land
Mysteries are told
Of death and ruin blighted dreams
Ardent lust for gold

Night music softly blowing
Night music gently flowing
Night music touching your heart and your soul
Touching your heart and your soul

As the music rises the people start to sway
Dancing to the rhythms that musicians play
Clap their hands together singing with the tune
Moving in unison all around the room

Night music softly blowing
Night music gently flowing
Night music touching your heart and your soul
Touching your heart and your soul

As the song comes to an end
The singer takes a bow
Thanks, us all for listening
Say “that’s all for now”
The band leave through the backstage door
Everyone shouts for more

Night music softly blowing
Night music gently flowing
Night music touching your heart and your soul
Touching your heart and your soul
