Irving Berlin

“ That's why I long to be
Where all those happy faces
Wait for me
Beside the fair oasis.
Soon, you'll see
Within a caravan
An Arab man will take me
Over the desert back to Araby.
[2nd verse] :
Someday you'll find me in Araby,
Where someone's waiting to marry me;
I can't forget the day we parted;
She said I left her broken hearted,
I helped her on to a camel's back.
Before she rode away,
She made me promise that I would come back;
I'll keep my promise someday.
