Sky, so vast is the sky, with far away clouds just wandering by Where do they go? Oh I don't know, don't know Wind that speaks to the leaves, telling stories that no one believes Stories of love belong to you and to me Oh, Dindi, if I only had words I would say all the beautiful Things that I see when you're with me, oh my Dindi Oh Dindi, like the song of the wind in the trees, that's how my heart is Singing Dindi, happy Dindi, when you're with me I love you more each day, yes I do, yes I do I'd let you go away, if you take me with you Don't you know, Dindi, I'd be running and searching for you like a river that Can't find the sea, that would be me without you, my Dindi Can't find the sea that would be me without you Dindi Like a river that can't find the sea, that would be me without you, my Dindi
