Lyrics

Night
And stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
Sleep
Upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
The memory 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
Night, night, night, night
And stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
Sleep
Upon my shoulders as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
This memory 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
You
Beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan
