Raza:
Darling, the hands of time must always point ahead, yesterday's past
Today has come and gone, the secret of tomorrow's coming fast
Which bedtime story shall I sing to you when we turn out the lights
One of eternity or one of just a thousand and one nights?
Is there a mystic with the answers from above
Is there a goddess with the hourglass of love
So many questions swirling all around my heart
Is this the end or just the start?
Will I shower you with riches every year the night we met?
Will you take my heart or melt it like it's gold?
Will our love go on forever or is this all that we get?
Is tonight the last or does the future hold a lifetime of delights
Or just a thousand and one nights?
Katharine:
Darling, you seem to think that I'm the only one who has to choose
That you are in control and get to set the rules of win or lose
The bedtime story that I'll sing to you when we turn out the lights
Might bring eternity or maybe just a thousand and one nights
There is no mystic with the answers from above
You know the secrets for the way to keep my love
There are a thousand and more ways to win my heart
The list is long, but for a start:
You can shower me with riches every year the night we met
I may take your heart and melt it like it's gold
Play in someone's perfume garden and this night's the last you'll get
Play your cards right and the future just might hold a lifetime of delights
Or just a thousand and one nights
Just a thousand and one nights
Kat: The man who never chooses finds himself without a choice
Raza: The lucky ones appear to have it all
Kat: The tiger is just a kitten when his tamer finds her voice
Raza: I surely will obey you when you call
Both:
And will you shower me with riches every year the night we met?
Will you take my heart and melt it like it's gold?
Will our love go on forever or is this all that we get?
Is tonight the last or does the future hold a lifetime of delights
Or just a thousand and one nights?
Just a thousand and one nights
