Burning Sands (1922)
words by Jack Meskill, melody by D. Onivas
published by Richmond-Robbins Inc. Music Publishers, New York City
sung by Sheet Music Singer, Fred Feild
1. Down by the silvery shores of the Nile
Down where the Iris blooms all the while
There 'neath the moon that gleams o'er the sand
A desert maid dreams of her desert man
And as she gazes across the moonlit way
Where love thoughts stray, she seems to say
Chorus:
Across the burning sands, there waits my Arab man
Beyond the coral strands, I'll share his caravan
By the fair oasis, I know my place is
Where smiling faces will understand
Love rules the mystic land, across the burning sands
2. Soon on the wings of night so it seems
Over the sand to her land of dreams
Back to her Arab chieftan she'll ride
The he will name and claim her for his bride
And as the moonbeams around them softly fall
Where love enthralls, he'll hear her call
