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!
