A Thousand And One Nights lyrics

[Dev:]

Darling, the hands of time must always point ahead, yesterday's passed

Today has come and gone, the secret of tomorrow's coming fast

Which bedtime story shall I sing to you when we turn out the lights?

One of eternity or one of just a thousand and one nights?

Is there a mystic with the answers from above?

Is there a goddess with the hourglass of love?

So many questions swirling all around my heart

Is this the end or just the start?

Will I shower you with riches every year the night we met?

Will you take my heart or melt it likes it's gold?

Will our love go on forever or is this all that we get?

Is tonight the last or does the future hold

A lifetime of delights

Or just a thousand and one nights?

[Karen:]

Darling, you seem to think that I'm the only who has to choose

That you are in control and get to set the rules of win or lose

The bedtime story that I'll sing to you when we turn out the lights

May bring eternity or maybe just a thousand and one nights

There is no mystic with the answers from above

You know the secrets for the way to keep my love

There are a thousand and more ways to win my heart

The list is long but for a start

You can shower me with riches every year the night we met

I may take your heart and melt it like it's gold

Play in someone's perfumed garden and this night's the last you'll get

Play your cards right and your future just might hold

A lifetime of delights

Or just a thousand and one nights

Just a thousand and one nights

[Karen:]

The man who never chooses finds himself without a choice

[Dev:]

The lucky ones appear to have it all

[Karen:]

The tiger's just a kitten when his tamer finds her voice

[Dev:]

I surely will obey you when you call

[Ensemble:]

Then will you shower me with riches every year the night we met?

Will you take my heart and melt it likes it's gold?

Will our love go on forever or is this all that we get?

Is tonight the last or does the future hold

A lifetime of delights

Or just a thousand and one nights

Just a thousand and one nights
