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
And 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
And 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 that came down from the sky?
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night

All of my life, all I have known
Only a place where peace cannot go
All over the world, the gift from before
Nothing is left for the children of war

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 the Lebanon
