Roy Orbison

Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 – December 6, 1988), also known by the nickname 'The Big O', was an American singer-songwriter, best known for his distinctive, powerful voice, complex compositions, and dark emotional ballads.

There once was an Indian brave by the name of Yellow Hand 
He fell in love with a maiden know as White Sands 
They vowed their love would last forever more 
Then came the day that they had waited for. 

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. 

Oooooh Oooooh Oooh 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 
And rode into the hills climbing higher 
And suddenly the snow came swirling down 
They were lost the trail could not be found. 

Oooooh Oooooh Oooh 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. 

They never returned from Paradise 
They went to their places in the sky 
And the old ones still say when the snowflakes fly 
If you'll listen close you'll hear him cry: 

Oooooh Oooooh Oooh 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
