Paul Revere & The Raiders 1001 Arabian Nights Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once upon a dangerous night
I went looking for her light
Past the palace guards I crept
All the while a young girl slept

[Verse 2]
Midnight rang upon the bells
Telling me that all was well
Through the halls I glide in shadows
To the girl that nobody knows, know, know, know, know

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
In her chamber lying there
Moonlight fingers touched her hair
If I were bold as the moonlight
I could taste her lips on this night

[Verse 4] My eyes hungered for her face
So her veil I slowly raised
Though my tongue you might cut from me
I would not tell what I did see, see, see, see, see

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
As I closer bent to see
Her eyes opened into me
For eternity we fell
In a whirling magic spell

[Verse 6]
As I turned to fly away
Her lips opened, bid me stay
But I fled into the shadows
From the girl that nobody knows, know, know, know, know
