Chris De Burgh - Lebanese Night Lyrics

It was late in a Lebanese restaurant
In the heat of a Lebanese night
There was dancing, people were singing
She came in from the garden outside

In her eyes I saw the stars
And I felt something happen in my heart

Then I knew I was going to meet her
In the heat of a Lebanese night
And the girl inside the woman
Who came over to sit by my side

Then when she smiled, the whole world stopped
It was then I heard the echoes of a child

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby
And the sound of the guns in the night?
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life
From the hell that came down from the sky
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night?

We went down to the edge of the water
By the light of a Lebanese dawn
And she told me all the stories
Of her beautiful land in the war

Her tears fell down, the sun came up
And I saw again the young girl in her eyes

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby
And the sound of the guns in the night?
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life
From the hell the came down from the sky
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night?

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby
And the sound of the guns in the night?
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life
From the hell that came down from the sky
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night?

On a Lebanese night
On a Lebanese night
I will be waiting in Lebanon
