Araby (c. 11-17-24) |
Tonight I’m dreaming of Araby |
That’s where my dreams seem to carry me Where ev’rything is Oriental |
And ev’ryone is sentimental |
There in the shade of the shelt’ring palms |
I met a maiden fair |
I long to hold her gently in my arms |
Oh, how I wish I was there |
Araby, when shades of night appear |
I seem to hear you calling |
Araby, you seem to beckon and I reckon |
I’ll be hurrying back again |
Seems to me |
A maiden’s face appears |
I see her tears are falling |
Falling because I left her there |
That’s why I long to be Where all those happy faces |
Wait for me Beside the fair oasis |
Soon, you’ll see |
Within a caravan |
An Arab man will take me Over the desert back to Araby |
Someday you’ll find me in Araby |
Where someone’s waiting to marry me I can’t forget the day we parted |
She said I left her broken hearted |
I helped her on to a camel’s back |
Before she rode away |
She made me promise that I would come back |
I’ll keep my promise someday |
