HAWAIIAN HOLIDAY


Dreaming of my holiday on Maui,
Lulled to sleep by the ocean’s rolling song,
Smell the flowers everywhere; salty breezes comb my hair,
I will always have Hawaii on my mind.

All the colors will astound you in Kauai,
Pele’s pretty palette shimmers in the sun,
Words could never paint the hue of the ocean’s aqua blue,
As the palm trees dance the Hula in the sky.

Whether the fog is slowly rising, or the rain is lightly falling,
Or a storm is blowing heavy ‘cross the sea,
We know the rainbows will be glowing, five or six or seven showing us
That this is just about as close to Heaven as can be.

It’s so hard to leave the islands of Hawaii, (it’s so hard to leave the islands of Hawaii)
That Aloha spirit settled in my soul, (aloha)
No, I just can’t say goodbye to this lovely Paradise,
So I’ll always keep Hawaii in my heart.

No, I just can’t say goodbye to this lovely Paradise,
So I’ll always hold Hawaii (Mau ke aloha no Hawai’i)
I will always hold Hawaii in my heart.
