Sarah Brightman -- Snow on the Sahara

Only tell me that you still want me here
When you wander off out there
To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow
In the dry white ocean alone

Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

But to stand with you in a ring of fire
I'll forget the days gone by
I'll protect your body and guard your soul
From mirages in your sight

Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the Sahara

If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts
I'll hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away, I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the Sahara

Just a wish and I will cover your shoulders
With veils of silk and gold
When the shadows come and darken your heart
Leaving you regrets so cold

Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the Sahara

If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the Sahara

If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts
I'll hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away, I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the Sahara

Oh-oh-oh .... oh-oh-oh ....
For snow to fall on the Sahara
Oh-oh-oh .... oh-oh-oh ....
For snow to fall on the Sahara

Source of the lyrics: thanks to Mark Bliss.
Thanks also to Liliana Evelyn and Micheal Wong.
And thanks to Nikki Matheson to give the correct credits.

Mark Bliss adds this bit of info:

The studio track was originally recorded in 1998 by an Indonesian singer named Anggun, which she first released in a French language version titled "Neige au Sahara" on her CD "Au Nom De La Lune". Anggun then released an English language version of the same CD, the album and song retitled "Snow on the Sahara". And now Sarah has recorded the English language version.
It is unknown whether Sarah has also recorded the original French lyric version.
