Lyrics

(Ahmed)

Darling, I have the right to say now

Let's sail away now, I love you so.

(Scheherezade)

From now on we'll share love,

I'm well aware, love, My heart is all aglow.

(Ahmed)

Now we can spend our life together

Not wond'ring whether its meant to be

(Scheherezade)

You will find an ocean of my devotion

My darling, wait and see:

Chorus:

A Thousand and One Nights I'll be with you

A thousand and one dreams Will all come true,

The story will unfold and we will share

The glory of untold romances there

And if my caravan of love Upon its journey should ever stray

Gazing high above I know I'll always find my way

A thousand and one stars Will guide me to

A Thousand and One Nights with you.

 

(Duet)

Darling I wish that I could say now

Let's fly away now, I love you so

Some day we'll share love, So don't despair, love,

We;ll find a way, I know

When will we spend our life together

I wonder whether It's meant to be

Don't be so downhearted, though we've parted

My darling, wait and see:
