Lyrics
When the weary day is slowly fading
With its tinted effort to be gay
Reds and Golds intensive
Leave me only pensive
For my thoughts are flying far away
Refrain
Nighttime is falling in Araby
My heart is calling for Araby
I can hear, sweet and clear
Over the sea, someone true, calling to me
Her moonlight kisses in Araby
Taught me what bliss is in Araby
That’s why the nighttime’s
The right time to be in Araby
