Lyrics for Jack The Bear

Night and stars above that shine so bright The mystery of their fading light That shines upon our Caravan Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep Across the sands so I may keep The memory of our Caravan This is so exciting, you are so inviting Resting in my arms Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms You beside me here beneath the blue My dream of love is coming true Within our desert Caravan This is so exciting, you are so inviting Resting in my arms Thrill to the magic, the magic of your charms Night and stars above that shine so bright The mystery of their fading light That shines upon our Caravan That shines upon our Caravan Oooh
