Cairo Night

Lyrics: Techy Tanveer Music: Techy Tanveer One, two, three... sunshine...
Boxes on the floor, in a new place A brand new door, a brand new space My room looks out, the paint is dry I see a window, catching my eye Across the way, not far at all Behind that glass, I see a shadow tall
Then the curtain moves, and my heart approves For a single second, my whole world improves A glimpse of you, a flash of light In the quiet of the Cairo night
Window to window, my heart beats slow Under the Egyptian moon's soft glow I don't know your name, but my feelings grow From my window to your window Is it crazy that I feel this way? Hoping you might look my way, someday
Look my way... look my way... Habibi, look my way...
I see you reading in your chair Sunning in the morning air You looked up once, I caught your glance Gave my lonely heart a chance A little smile, or just my mind? The sweetest mystery I'll ever find
Then the curtain moves, and my heart approves For a single second, my whole world improves A glimpse of you, a flash of light In the quiet of the Cairo night
Window to window, my heart beats slow Under the Egyptian moon's soft glow I don't know your name, but my feelings grow From my window to your window Is it crazy that I feel this way? Hoping you might look my way, someday
The city sleeps, the stars are few All I think about is you This space between us, it feels so wide With just this window as my guide Could a feeling cross that empty night? Could my secret wish ever take flight?
Window to window, my heart beats slow! (So slow!) Under the Egyptian moon's soft glow! I don't know your name, but my feelings grow! (They grow!) From my window to your window! It's not so crazy to feel this way! I'm just hoping you'll look my way!
Look my way... From my window... Salaam... peace... Maa essalama... goodbye...
