THERE ONCE WAS AN INDIAN BRAVE BY THE NAME OF YELLOW HAND.
HE FELL IN LOVE WITH A MAIDEN KNOWN AS WHITE SANDS.
THEY VOWED THEIR LOVE WOULD LAST FOREVER MORE.
THEN CAME THE DAY THAT THEY HAD WAITED FOR.
INDIAN WEDDING
YELLOW HAND & WHITE SANDS
YELLOW HAND BROUGHT HER A GOLDEN FEATHER.
WHITE SANDS SAID A PRAYER FOR GOOD WEATHER.
THE CEREMONIAL DANCE GREW LOUD AND STRONG.
THEN YELLOW HAND BEGAN THEIR WEDDING SONG.
OOOOH OOOOH OOOOH OOOOH,
OOH OOH OOH OOH OOH OOH OOH,
TONIGHT, TONIGHT, WE WILL BE ONE.
WE'LL WALK IN THE LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
OH, WHITE SANDS, COME HOLD MY LONELY HAND.
THEN THEY LEFT THE WARMTH OF THE RAGING FIRE.
THEY RODE INTO THE HILLS, CLIMBING HIGHER.
AND SUDDENLY THE SNOW CAME SWIRLING DOWN,
THEY WERE LOST, THE TRAIL COULD NOT BE FOUND.
THEY NEVER RETURNED FROM PARADISE,
THEY WENT TO THEIR PLACES IN THE SKY.
THE OLD ONES SAY WHEN THE SNOWFLAKES FLY,
IF YOU'LL LISTEN CLOSE YOU'LL HEAR HIM CRY.
OOOOH OOOOH OOOOH OOOOH,
OOH OOH OOH OOH OOH OOH OOH,
TONIGHT, TONIGHT, WE WILL BE ONE.
WE'LL WALK IN THE LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
OH, WHITE SANDS, COME HOLD MY LONELY HAND.
OOOOH OOOOH OOOOH OOOOH,
OOH OOH OOH OOH OOH OOH OOH,
TONIGHT, TONIGHT, WE WILL BE ONE.
WE'LL WALK IN THE LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
OH, WHITE SANDS, COME HOLD MY LONELY HAND.
