Caravan

Tony Bennett



This version did not chart but

It charted twice in 1937: Duke Ellington (# 4) and Barney Bigard (# 20)

In 1949 Billy Eckstine took it to # 27

In 1953 Ralph Marterie hit # 6 and The Esquire Boys managed # 27.

Words by Irving Mills and music by Duke Ellington and Juan Tizol



Night and stars above that shine so bright

The myst'ry of their fading light

That shines upon our caravan



Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep

Across the sand so I may keep

The mem'ry of our caravan



This is so exciting

You are so inviting

Resting in my arms

As I thrill to the magic charms



Of you beside me here beneath the blue

My dream of love is coming true

Within our desert caravan!
