The magic of Cairo,
I'm under its spell.
The sights, the sounds,
a clueless mystery.
****
On our first night in Cairo,
the music's beat
dissolved the heat.
Love was in the air.
****
The skyline of the city
reaches out to me.
The city's lights
reflecting the mystery.
****
On our first night in Cairo,
the music's beat
dissolved the heat.
Love was in the air.
****
Cairo's music mystery
envelops the rooftop balcony.
Sitting under the stars,
our hearts pound excitedly.
****
On our first night in Cairo,
the music's beat
dissolved the heat.
Love was in the air.
