~ White Horses ~

 
Most UK 40-somethings will remember them: the White Horses!  It was a European TV programme that was shown nearly every summer holiday, as I remember.  I cannot recall the actual plot, but there was something about a young girl and some white Lipizaner horses.  I loved the theme tune and I can remember that the credits showed the girl riding along the seashore on her white horse.  If you would like to hear the song that accompanied the programme, sung by Jackie Lee, there is a realplayer version here.

White Horses

On white horses let me ride away
To my world of dreams so far away
Let me run
To the sun

To a world my heart can understand
It's a warm and gentle wonder land
Far away
Stars away

Where the clouds are made of candyfloss
As the day is born
When the stars are gone
We'll race to meet the dawn

So when I can only see the grey
Of a sad and very lonely day
That's when I
Softly sigh
On white horses
Snowy white horses
Let me ride away
