Pale stars gleaming
find me dreaming
ev'ry night
of a faroff place;
Morning cheats me
when dawn greets me
fades my dream of one
I'd love to face.

Persian Pearl
how I yearn to return
my dream girl.
Each day seems
like a year
till I'm near
in my dreams.
Persian Pearl
my poor heart
from the start's
been a whirl,
Mate! fate bids me
tell you wait,
Persian Pearl.

Persian Pearl
how I yearn to return
my dream girl.
Each day seems
like a year
till I'm near
in my dreams.
Persian Pearl
my poor heart
from the start's
been a whirl,
Mate! fate bids me
tell you wait,
Persian Pearl.

Though in night shade
you're but dream maid
yet I know
we shall meet some day;
by gold sands fair
we'll hold hands there
while sunbirds
on palm trees gently sway.

Persian Pearl
how I yearn to return
my dream girl.
Each day seems
like a year
till I'm near
in my dreams.
Persian Pearl
my poor heart
from the start's
been a whirl,
Mate! fate bids me
tell you wait,
Persian Pearl.

Persian Pearl
how I yearn to return
my dream girl.
Each day seems
like a year
till I'm near
in my dreams.
Persian Pearl
my poor heart
from the start's
been a whirl,
Mate! fate bids me
tell you wait,
Persian Pearl.
