Tonight

Be still my beauty
Take your mohair brush
And comb your ebony hair
For tonight you meet your lover
For tonight he'll steal your heart

Be still my beauty
Take your gossamer gown
And drape it gracefully on your glistening skin
For tonight you'll meet your lover
For tonight he'll steal your heart

Be still my beauty
Take your string of turquoise
And hang it 'round your neck
For tonight you'll meet your lover
For tonight he'll steal your heart

Be still my beauty
Take your clove and cardamom seeds
and sweeten your delicate mouth
For tonight you'll meet your lover
For tonight he'll steal your heart

Be still my beauty
Take your wisdom and honesty
And wear it as a pendant on your breast
For tonight you'll meet your lover
For tonight he'll steal your heart
