Chris De Burgh - Lebanese Night Lyrics
It was late in a Lebanese restaurant, in the heat of a Lebanese night,There was dancing, people were singing, she came in from the garden outside,And in her eyes I saw the stars,And I felt something happen in my heart;Then I knew I was going to meet her in the heat of a Lebanese night,And the girl inside the woman, who came over to sit by my side,And when she smiled, the whole world stopped,It was then I heard the echoes of a child;And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,And the sound of the guns in the night,And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,From the hell that came down from the sky?On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;We went down to the edge of the water, by the light of a Lebanese dawn,And she told me all the stories of her beautiful land in the war,Her tears fell down, the sun came up,And I saw again the young girl in her eyes;And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,And the sound of the guns in the night,And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,From the hell that came down from the sky?On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;All of my life, all I have known,only a place where peace cannot go;All over the world, the gift from before,nothing is left for the children of war;And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,And the sound of the guns in the night,And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,From the hell that came down from the sky?On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night,On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night,I will be waiting, in the Lebanon.
