Lyrics The Desert Song - Mario Lanza , Judith Raskin

I open my arms to enfold them
And they're gone like a breeze rushing by
When life is gray, I have a way to keep it gay
All through the day I dream of love

Why waste your time in vague romancing
When life itself is at your call?
I come to you, my heart advancing
Oh, come to me and be my own
You turn away and yet you tremble
My little bird has wings, I see
Come, leave your cage and don't dissemble
If I but try, I'll make you fly with me
My desert is waiting
Dear, come there with me
I'm longing to teach you
Love's sweet melody
I'll sing a dream song to you
Painting a picture for two
Blue heaven and you and I
And sand kissing a moonlit sky
The desert breeze whispering a lullaby
Only stars above you to see I love you
Oh, give me that night divine
And let my arms in yours entwine
The desert sun calling
Its voice enthralling
Will make you mine

Blue heaven and you and I
And sand kissing a moonlit sky
The desert breeze whispering a lullaby
Only stars above you to see

I love you
Oh, give me that night divine
And let my arms in yours entwine
The desert sun calling
Its voice enthralling
Will make you mine
