Accompaniment:
Lyrics
There is an island where
Flowers grow, of beauty rare
Soon, I know I’ll be going
Back, where southwinds are blowing
There by the sunlit sea
Someone waits patiently
Hoping each day, I’ll return to stay
On that island, of love’s paradise
Chorus
Flower of Hawaii, dry each tear away
To your tropic bower, I’ll come back to stay
There where the love birds rest
I’ll build a cosy nest
Ukulele’s gaily strum a sweet refrain
Happiness forever with us will remain
Loveland for just us two
Flower of Hawaii, I love you
Trio
Moonbeams weave a path of dreams
And it leads to your tropical bower
And of all the rest I know
You’re nature’s rarest flower
If I could but find my way
On the moonlit trail back to you, dear
I’d not make you wait
‘Till the dreams that I dream come true
