Bennett Tony Caravan Lyrics

Caravan Lyrics

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
