Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Far across the desert, in ancient Mecca
Where hot winds blow, oh
There my love lies dreaming
While bright stars gleaming
Now bid me go
Refrain
Arabian moon, look down upon her
Arabian moon, guard me and mine, shine
Light my lonely pathway
Across the sand dunes
To Mecca’s shrine
Your silvery beams of love are telling
Oh, whisper I am coming soon
Then o’er the desert, to my dwelling
Back I’ll bring her, Arabian moon
- When the dawn is breaking
O’er ancient Mecca
The east a-glow, oh
Then we’ll greet the morrow
Our only sorrow, to see you go
Sung here by Fred Feild:
