THE BELLE OF THE YUKON
(From the international picture "Belle Of The Yukon" 1944)
Music by: Jimmy Van Heusen / Lyric by: Johnny Burke)
They say the men who looked for gold
Were warmed by the sun in her glance,
So, they fell for the belle of the Yukon
And their dreams remembered how to dance.
They say her voice could tame the wind;
Wherever she was it was spring,
So, they fell for the belle of the Yukon
And their hearts remembered how to sing.
When old timers talk of early glories
She's always somewhere in their stories.
They say her smile could melt the moon
And roses were willing to grow.
When they tell of the belle of the Yukon,
Well, it may be true for all we know.
It happened many years ago.
