Arab Love Song Lyrics

Al Koro chief of an Arab band

On his steed so swift and white

Sped on to his love over the desert sand

Through the soft Egyptian night

And he sang to the stars above him

To the stars that seemed to love him

In a voice that was brave and low

Of the love that the Bedouins know

Over the burning sand he took his flight

Till at length neath the banyan's shade

Al Koro's heart was soon made light

By the smiles of his gypsy maid

And she sighed "I have long been yearning"

For my Arab chief's returning

As you told me I should do

I have waited long for you

Oh! wait for me in your home

By the Pyramids we will happy be

For my love for you will last as long

As the Nile flows to the sea

Oh! wait for me in your home

By the Pyramids love me all you can

Then I'll be your King

And you'll be Queen of my caravan

Clouds they part sun will shine

Take my hand you'll be fine

Chase the light in the blue

Dreams come true they do

Oh! wait for me in your home

By the Pyramids we will happy be

For my love for you will last as long

As the Nile flows to the sea

Oh! wait for me in your home

By the Pyramids love me all you can

Then I'll be your King

And you'll be Queen of my caravan
