In The Valley Of The Nile
Composer(s): Dave Radford; Richard Whiting



Down where the Nile flows so dreamily where Cleopatra met Anthony
There's a sweet Egyptian maid who is waiting patiently
And in my dreams I seem to see here waiting there
There never bloomed a tropic flow'r so rare
I hear her calling plaintively "Come back, my love, to me!"

The moon shines bright on the pyramids
The lotus flowers have closed their lids
Thro' the bright Egyptian night I can hear her calling me
The dreamy river whispers to her of my love
The nightbirds sing a welcome from above
My heart is longing constantly
I'd give the world to be

Where the dreamy Nile is flowing
She's waiting there for me
Waiting thro' the lonely hours 
There beside the lotus flow'rs
But she knows just how my heart is yearning to kiss her
I miss her own sweet smile
Someday my caravans will cross the desert sands
And take me to my dark eyed sweet heart
Down in the Valley of the Nile
