On A Little Street In Singapore Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

On a little street in Singapore 

With me beside a lotus covered door 

A veil of moonlight on her lovely face 

How pale the hands that held me in embrace 

My sails tonight are filled with perfume of Shalimar 

With temple bells that guide me to her shore 

And then I hold you in my arms and love the way I loved before 

On a little street in Singapore 

On a little street in Singapore 

With me beside a lotus covered door 

A veil of moonlight on her lovely face 

How pale the hands that held me in embrace 

On a little street in Singapore 

With me beside a lotus covered door 

A veil of moonlight on her lovely face
