Lyrics

Near old Egypt's shore
Lives the one I adore
Wondrous fancy is she
And where the Nile so gently flows
And the shy lotus grows
I met my fantasy
Lady mine, love divine.

CHORUS:

My Fantasy, My desert Fantasy
Fleeting as a vision fair
Your magic hand
Across the gleaming sands seems to be calling me there
And though the nightingale in the vale
Thrills me with ecstasy
'Tis empty bliss
I long to feel the kiss
Of my desert fantasy.

My love's mystic spell
Haunts me though I can't tell
Who this vision may be
But whether she's a princess grand
Or a slave of the sand
Yet she's my fantasy
Lady mine, love divine.

Egypt
