A Thousand and One Nights
from NBC's Smash
Darling, the hands of time must always point ahead, yesterday's passed.
Today has come and gone the secret of tomorrow's coming fast
Which bedtime story shall I sing to you when we turn out the lights?
One of eternity or one of just a thousand and one nights?
Is there a mystic with the answers from above?
Is there a goddess with the hourglass of love?
So many questions swirling all around my heart.
Is this the end or just the start?
Will I shower you with riches every year the night we met?
Will you take my heart or melt it like it's gold?
Will our love go on forever or is this all that we get?
Is tonight the last or does the future hold a lifetime of delights,
Or just a thousand and one nights?
Darling, you seem to think that I'm the only who has to choose.
But you are in control and get to set the rules of win or lose.
The bedtime story that I'll sing to you when we turn out the lights,
Might bring eternity or maybe just a thousand and one nights.
There is no mystic with the answers from above.
You know the secrets for the way to keep my love.
There are a thousand and more ways to win my heart.
The list is long but for a start...
You can shower me with riches every year the night we met.
I may take your heart and melt it like it's gold.
Play in someone's perfumed garden and this night's the last you'll get.
Play your cards right and your future just might hold a lifetime of delights,
Or just a thousand and one nights.
Just a thousand and one nights.
The man who never chooses finds himself without a choice.
The lucky ones appear to have it all.
The tiger's just a kitten when his tamer finds her voice.
I surely will obey you when you call.
Then will you shower me with riches every year the night we met?
Will you take my heart and melt it like it's gold?
Will our love go on forever or is this all that we get?
Is tonight the last or does the future hold a lifetime of delights,
Or just a thousand and one nights.
Just a thousand and one nights
