Long ago Where the Nile is flowing dreamily,
To and fro graceful palm trees slowly sway'd
Long ago like a vision fair you came to me
You brought sweet love dreams
I have learn'd to know could never be.
Now dear I dream alone Of all the joys we have known.
CHORUS:
Moonlight on the Nile recalls the smile you gave me
Moonlight on the Nile brings back the days that used to be, and dearie
All alone I stray along the way that once we knew
Moonlight on the Nile will always bring me memories of you.
In my dreams I imagine you've come back to me
And it seems that I love you even more
There you stand and I dream my dream so happily
My mem'ries wander To our love days and I seem to be
Strolling with you once more There on that moonlit shore
