SMASH Cast, Razza Jaffrey , Katharine McPhee - ‎A Thousand and One Nights (SMASH Cast Version) lyrics

Darling, the hands of time
Must always point ahead, yesterday's passed
Today has come and gone
The secret of tomorrow's coming fast
Which bedtime story shall I sing to you
When we turn out the lights?
One of eternity or one of just
A thousand and one nights?

Is there a mystic with
The answers from above?
Is there a goddess with
The hourglass of love?
So many questions swirling all
Around my heart
Is this the end or just the start?
Will I shower you with riches every
Year the night we met?
Will you take my heart or
Melt it likes it's gold?
Will our love go on forever or
Is this all that we get?
Is tonight the last or does the future hold
A lifetime of delights
Or just a thousand and one nights?

Darling, you seem to think that I'm
The only who has to choose
That you are in control and get to
Set the rules of win or lose
The bedtime story that I'll sing to you
When we turn out the lights
May bring eternity or maybe just
A thousand and one nights

There is no mystic with
The answers from above
You know the secrets for the
Way to keep my love
There are a thousand and more
Ways to win my heart
The list is long but for a start

You can shower me with riches every
Year the night we met
I may take your heart and
Melt it like it's gold
Play in someone's perfumed garden and this
Night's the last you'll get
Play your cards right and your
Future just might hold
A lifetime of delights
Or just a thousand and one nights
Just a thousand and one nights

The man who never chooses finds
Himself without a choice

The lucky ones appear to have it all

The tiger's just a kitten when
His tamer finds her voice

I surely will obey you when you call

Then will you shower me with riches
Every year the night we met?
Will you take my heart and
Melt it likes it's gold?
Will our love go on forever or
Is this all that we get?
Is tonight the last or does the future hold
A lifetime of delights
Or just a thousand and one nights
Just a thousand and one nights
