Lyrics
One day long ago
On a far-away shore
Sweethearts just like us
Lived and loved once before
By the pyramids
There were moments just like this
Lovers warmed their lips with the fire of a kiss
Come, love, to the land of Pharaohs
Let’s recapture all the rapture
That the ancients have known
So come, love, where the wide world narrows
To a maytic, fatalistic little world of our own
Take my trembling hand
Take me over the sea
To that far-off land
Live and love there with me
With me, with me
