Lyrics
- Twilight is closing the flowers my love
Soon silver stars will be twinkling above
Some mystic power is lurking it seems
This is a night of enchantment and dreams
Love time is bidding the long day adieu
Come dearest one I am waiting for you
Refrain
By the Shalimar, in my arms I’ll hold you
With a burning love undying for you I’m sighing
While the world’s at rest, we will dream together
Could this night but last forever, by the Shalimar
- Soft scented breezes are telling the palms
Night soon will hold all the world in her arms
Waters a-glow seem to murmur your name
Thrilling and setting my heart aflame
Love birds are calling to hearts that are true
Hasten my own I am waiting for you
