|
Night and stars above that shine so bright |
|
The myst'ry of their fading light |
|
That shines upon our caravan |
|
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep |
|
Across the sand so |
|
I may keep |
|
The mem'ry of our caravan |
|
This is so exciting |
|
You are so inviting |
|
Resting in my arms |
|
As I thrill to the magic charms |
|
Of you beside me here beneath the blue |
|
My dream of love is coming true |
|
Within our desert caravan |
