Lyrics

Under the stars
She shimmers like a gem
Radiant she shines
Again

I hang on to her words
And every point of light
Every tale she tells
Tonight

Chorus
In my mind I hear her stories
In my mind I look into those eyes
All those loves, those lives , those glories
Just her voice to take me through the night


Her sweetness in the gloom
The fondness of her sigh
The music of her breath
Defined

The stillness of the room
The starshine on the wall
Infused with her perfume
Once more

Chorus

But that was long ago
When all the world was new
The ruby of her lips
So true

And now we sit alone
Under a sickle moon
She's covered head to toe
Unseen

Chorus then chorus version 2 thus

In my mind I hear those stories
In my mind she's lying on the bed
All those lives, those loves, those glories
Oh my love Sheherazade
