Night of My Nights Lyrics by Richard Kiley, Kismet Ensemble

Kismet: A Musical Arabian Night (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1953

[CALIPH]
Play on the cymbal
The timbal, the lyre
Play with appropriate passion; fashion
Songs of delight and delicious desire
For the night of my nights!
Come where the so-well
Beloved is waiting
Where the rose and jasmine mingle
While I tell her the moon is for mating
And 'tis sin to be single!
Let peacocks and monkeys
In purple adornings
Show her way to the bridal chamber
Then get you gone
Till the morn of my mornings
After the night of my nights
[CALIPH, GIRLS & MEN]
Aftеr the night of my nights! (Ah! Ah!)
'Tis the night of my nights! (Ah! Ah!)
[MEN & CALIPH]
Play on the cymbal
Thе timbal, the lyre (Ah! Ah!)
Play with appropriate passion
[GIRLS & MEN]
Fashion songs of delight
And delicious desire
[CALIPH]
For the night of my nights!
[MEN & GIRLS]
Come where the so-well
Beloved is waiting (Hm)
Where the rose and jasmine mingle (Hm, hm)
While I tell her the moon is for mating (Hm)
[CALIPH & GIRLS]
And 'tis sin to be single! (Ah!)
[GIRLS & MEN]
Let peacocks and monkeys
In purple adornings
Show her way to the bridal chamber
Then get you gone
Till the morn of my mornings
After the night of my nights
[CALIPH]
'Tis the night of my nights!
[GIRLS & MEN]
After the night of my nights
[CALIPH]
'Tis the night of my nights!
