I CAN HEAR THE UKULELES CALLING ME

When shades of night steal on my thoughts always stray
Back to Hawaii that sweet land far away;
I see again that tropic island fair
And breathe once more perfum'd air.
I see the waters and the blue skies above,
I hear the birds a hummin' sweet songs of love
They bring back memories of long ago,
Oh Sweetheart, I miss you so;
(CHORUS)
I can hear the ukuleles calling me,
They sing of you, Hawaii too;
I love their little plaintive melody
With love so true- It thrills me through;
It seems to say to me from o'er the sea,
"Come back once more Where flowers bloom,
and ev'ry one is happy and gay,
Where you can live on love and while the hours away."
I can hear the ukuleles calling me
To please come back to Hawaii and you.
I long to stroll those silv'ry shores, oh, so grand,
And idly bask upon the beautiful sand,
And watch the mountains rising up so high,
Kiss'd by the sun from the sky.
The moonlight eve-nings hold a charm for me too,
Hawaii, land of springtime, I dream of you;
Beneath your sheltering palms I'll someday be,
Hawaii you're meant for me;
Mahalo to Jim S. for these lyrics.
