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



















On a Lebanese night

On a Lebanese night

















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
