CD:
Where the tropic breezes play
Where the palm trees bend and sway
There a lonely maiden sighs
Underneath Hawaiian skies
Every night beneath the moon
You can hear a lonesome croon
Calling out across the bay
To her lover far away
I'm so lonely here without you
Underneath Hawaiian skies
Tell me, am I waiting all in vain, dear
Say you're coming back again, dear
To a land that's paradise (Can't you hear me calling?)
Come back where each tiny star that twinkles
And each steel guitar that tinkles
Breathes of love that never dies
Sometime, I just know you'll be returning
To a heart that's always yearning
Underneath Hawaiian skies
Moonbeams kiss the silv'ry sand
Where they wandered, hand in hand
Tears be-dim two soft brown eyes
Underneath Hawaiian skies
Sweet Hawaiian melodies
Bring to her fond memories
Of a love that used to be
As she calls across the sea
Come back to the shores of Honolulu
I'm so lonely here without you
Underneath Hawaiian skies
Tell me, am I waiting all in vain, dear
Say you're coming back again, dear
To a land that's paradise (Can't you hear me calling?)
Come back where each tiny star that twinkles
And each steel guitar that tinkles
Breathes of love that never dies
Sometime, I just know you'll be returning
To a heart that's always yearning
Underneath Hawaiian skies
