Accompaniment track:
Lyrics
1. Where the feathered palm trees lightly sway
High above the blue Hawaiian bay
Set in opal, rose and pearl
Are my mem’ries of a girl
Could I send a message to her I’d say
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
Refrain
It was moonlight in Kalua
Night like this is divine
It was moonlight in Kalua
When your kisses met mine
Although the rose and jasmine bloom as fair
And love is calling through the scented air, everywhere
It is lonely in Kalua
Because you are not there
2. Shadows fall from every haunted pine
Where the moonrays on the water shine
There’s a road of spangled blue
That would lead me straight to you
Could I only follow the silver line
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
