Banks of the Nile

[Verse 1]
A boy and his sweetheart
In Egypt's land of mystery
Had a love as strange as the pages of time
Now he was a shephard and she was a princess
They knew love's destiny they would never find

[Chorus]
Life, love and their happiness
Shown like the stars all the while
Their love was strange and their love was true
On the banks of the beautiful Nile

[Verse 2]
With hands locked together
They walked into the darkness
The river knows the answer as they walked out of sight
Palm trees whisper softly as shadows kiss the dew
There'll be a new tomorrow but love's so strange and true

[Chorus]
Life, love and their happiness
Shown like the stars all the while
Their love was strange and their love was true
On the banks of the beautiful Nile
