IN A PERSIAN MARKET
(Albert Ketèlbey / Hal David)

Sammy Davis Jr. - 1961


When lights are low my thoughts always go
To a far off land 'cross the sea
Amber moon and the sweet perfume
Of the mystic East call to me

In a Persian market place
Love and I came face to face
While the temple bells were ringing
Two hearts shared a sweet embrace

Like a dream she soon was gone
But her spell still lingers on
It was in a Persian market
I found love and lost my heart

(Orchestral Break)

Like a dream she soon was gone
But her spell still lingers on
It was in a Persian market
I found love and lost my heart
I found love and lost my heart

Sweee-oooo-eeeeeeeeee-oooo-eee-oooo
Weeeeee-ooooo-eeeeeeee-ooo-eeeee-ooooo
Sheee-ooh-aah..............FADE
