I've come across the desert To greet you with a smile My camel looks so tired It's hardly worth my while To tell you of my travels Across the golden east I see your preparations Invite me first to the feast Take me I'm yours Because dreams are made of this Forever there'll be A heaven in your kiss Amusing belly dancers Distract me from my wine Across Tibetan mountains Are memories of mine I've stood some ghostly moments With natives in the hills Recorded here on paper My chills and thrills and spills Take me I'm yours Because dreams are made of this Forever there'll be A heaven in your kiss It's really been some welcome You never seem to change A grape to tempt your leisure Romantic gestures strange My eagle flies tomorrow It's a game I treasure dear To seek the helpless future My love at last I'm here Take me I'm yours Because dreams are made of this Forever there'll be A heaven in your kiss
