Sentimental Oriental Nights
Composer(s): L. Wolfe Gilbert; Anatol Friedland



Oh, those Oriental Nights 
Silver lining in the sky
Golden shadows drawing nigh 
Oh, those oriental lights
Sentimental eyes are beaming, dreaming with delight!

I bask in your wonderful smile, I ask for your love all the while
Let's roam the wildwood 
As in our childhood 
Rapture and joy to be-witch and beguile 
Roses of love fill the air
Sweet scented perfume so rare 
Life's golden treasure 
Love without measure 
Here 'mid the Oriental Nights 
Nightbirds are crooning in the dark 
Harken unto the meadowlark 
He knows who goes sweet-heart! 

Oh, those Oriental nights 
Silver lining in the sky 
Golden shadows drawing nigh 
Come, love, linger in my arms 
In abandon gaze into my eyes 
Be my paradise 
'Neath these wondrous skies of love
