What is the meaning of the lyrics?

The song "The Music of the Night" is from the well-known musical "The Phantom of the Opera", which is my favorite musical and I have seen the live show twice in London and Taipei. I also have the DVD and several versions of soundtracks because I am addicted to the touching plots and dramatic music. The lyrics of this song is written in graceful words just like a poem and the reason why I would like to choose this song is because I think the song which has a story is really meaningful and more moving. And another reason is the singer's pronunciation with very clear and deep voice sounds sexy. 

The song is from a part of miserable story. The man is trying to persuade and hypnotize the woman to give up the light and to enjoy the music, the darkness, and the life in the cellar with him. He use the words "Slowly, gently, softly, deftly, floating, and falling" to show the gradual coming of darkness, but she need not to be afraid due to "Night time (can) sharpens heightens each sensation" and "Darkness (will) stirs and wakes imagination".The man repeatedly appeals her for believing him and discarding the consciousness.
