Running Bear (Original Mix) Lyrics
Running Bear (Original Mix) - Johnny Preston
On the bank of the river stood running bear young indian brave
On the other side of the river stood his lovely indian maid
Little white dove was her name such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other so their love could never be
Running bear loved little white dove
With a love big as the sky
Running bear loved little white dove
With a love that couldn't die
He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach the little white dove waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her throwing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster waiting there for her brave
Running bear loved little white dove
With a love big as the sky
Running bear loved little white dove
With a love that couldn't die
Running bear dove in the water little white dove did the same
And they swam out to each other through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met the raging river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together in their happy hunting ground
Running bear loved little white dove
With a love big as the sky
Running bear loved little white dove
With a love that couldn't die
