Scheherazade Lyrics by Peter Cetera

Scheherazade Lyrics

    He was the sultan of samarcand
    He had a harem of dancing girls at his command
    He owned all the eye could see
    Something was wrong, he wasn't happy
    And then it happened much to his surprise
    The loveliest woman he'd ever seen
    He asked her name and she replied
    Scheherazade

    She was the daughter of the grand vizier
    A real beauty with the heart of gold, she was so sincere
    She made a date with destiny
    Marry the king, make him happy

    He was enchanted on their wedding night
    Just a captive under her spell
    Spending a thousand and one arabian nights

    All of his body tingled with delight
    Hearing the stories she loved to tell
    She was a vision, such a lovely sight
    Scheherazade

    He made a promise on the morning star
    He would change, throw away his scimitar
    So she came to stay
    And that's the why the story goes
    Until this very day
