Lyrics
Ooh! Ooh!
So echoes of sweet love notes gently fall
Thru the forest stillness
As fond waiting Indian lovers call
When the lone lagoon stirs in the Spring
Welcoming home some swany white wing
When the maiden moon riding the sky
Gathers star-eyed dream children nigh
That is the time of the moon and the year,
When love dreams to Indian maidens appear
And this song that they hear;
Refrain
When I’m calling you-oo-oo-oo
Will you answer too-oo-oo-oo?
That means I offer my love to you
To be your own
If you refuse me, I will be blue
And waiting all alone;
But if when you hear
My love call ringing clear,
And I hear your answering echo, so dear,
Then I will know our love will come true,
You’ll belong to me, I’ll belong to you
