Good post and topic. I’m an **EXTREME** night owl...tonight I might have to get into bed early...at least by two. :) Anyway, I have been since I was little. I used to stay up and watch the Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder when I was just a grade schooler. It’s just me and I will always be this way. Anyway, I associate the night with dark, sad, quiet, lonely, reflective, energized, inspired, life, passion. creative and my musical tastes often reflect dark and sad, etc.
These are a few songs, other than Starry, Starry Night and Stardust which were already mentioned, that I have on my homepage that have night in the title (And I do love Nights in White Satin but don’t have that on my home page for some reason):

And here are a few that remind me of night and dark, sad, quiet, mysterious. I’m sure I’m leaving out a ton in both categories:

Wow, Thanks for sharing some of your favorites. This is not night related, but closer to Symphonic Goth, a phrase I just made up. You may be familiar with The Cure, the group from England, I never get tired of a particular album and title song called “Disintergration”, or their other album title song ‘The Kiss; And let’s not forget Joni Mitchell’s album Heijera, which has Song For Sharon, and Amelia.
