Lyrics
- Bagdad! There it was I met her
Never to forget her it seems
Her lips, her eyes
Bagdad! Was itall in seeming?
Was I only dreaming sweet dreams
Of Paradise?
But only this I know
There in the moonlight glow
Chorus
I lost my heart in Bagdad
And there I pray to be
Beneath the skies of Bagdad
Where someone is waiting patiently for me
I love to dream of Bagdad
When longing makes me sad
For my Princess and happiness
Wait for me in old Bagdad
- Bagdad! Such a night as this is
Brought me burning kisses of love
Beneath your moon
Bagdad! Allthe world was sleeping
Stars were softly creeping above
That night in June
If I was dreaming then
O, let me dream again
