Lyrics
Neath my guiding star In the East afar,
To my Egypt I will go,
By the River Nile, I will rest awhile,
Where the desert breezes blow.
My heart is calling, dear, for you,
Calling to my Egypt true, for
CHORUS:
My Egypt's eyes are shining,
My Egypt's heart is pining,
Bird to mate is calling,
Heard while the dusk is falling,
While Egypt's lights are burning,
My Egypt's heart is yearning,
I have come to claim you,
My own Egyptian eyes.
In my caravan, O'er the burning sand,
To the Valley of the Nile;
To the Pyramid, my guide I will bid,
In the heart of Egypt smile;
For there my Egypt waits for me,
And in my arms soon she'll be, for
