I AM HAWAII

© 1966
Lyrics: Mack David; Music: Elmer Bernstein

A lyrical and haunting song, written for the 1966 film Hawaii. Oddly, this is not the song that was nominated come Oscar® time--a ditty called "My Wishing Doll" was (and how many of you remember that one?).

CD: Nina Keali'iwahamana and Benny Kalama Twilight In Hawaii (UPCD1008)

I am Hawaii
I am forever
I will always
Be kind to you
May gentle rain
Wash your cares far out to sea
Come you dreamers
And dream with me

I am Hawaii
I am the flowers
Whispering waters
Enchanted hours
Come you lovers
Come to forever
I am Hawaii
I'll bring you love


Mahalo to Inge de Water, leader of the "Hawaiian Surprise" band in Holland, for reminding me that I didn't have these lyrics on the website.
