LOVELY HULA HANDS

(Alex Anderson) « © '62 Lovely Hula Hands Music, ASCAP »
Lovely hula hands graceful as the birds in motion
Gliding like the gulls o'er the ocean
Lovely hula hands kou lima nani e
Lovely hula hands telling of the rains in the valley
And the swirling winds o'er the pali
Lovely hula hands kou lima nani e

I can feel the soft caresses of your hula hands your lovely
Every little move expresses so I'll understand all the tender meaning
Of your hula hands fingertips that say aloha
Say to me again I love you lovely hula hands kou lima nani e
[ steel ] I can feel the soft caresses...

SEA AND ME

(Jerry Byrd) « © '62 Mariposa Music, BMI »
The sea and me kees lonely company
The tides have come and gone just like your love for me
The tradewinds say that you'll come back someday
I think there's solitude they held take you away

Gone are the moments on dark sandy beaches
Where we get our secret randezvous
The brakers play on coral sands that say
We'll bring her home again the wind the sea and me
[ steel ] Gone are the moments...

KA-LU-A

(Ken Darby - Jerome Kern - Annie Caldwell) « © '62 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
This is my night of love the shining of our love Ka-lu-a
Her song is in the air her lips are waiting there
Who will be Kalua's only love

Before the night is old my arms will hold Ka-lu-a
And as the tradewinds blow soft and low
Our love will blossom bright in the night
And stars will sing above the love song of Ka-lu-a
[ steel ] Before the night is old...

NIGHT I CAME ASHORE

(Ray Charles Robinson) « © '62 Mariposa Music, BMI »
I fell in love the night I came ashore
You're what I'd wanted what I'd waited for
I built my dreams too high it seems that now
The things I wanted turned out wrong somehow

The dawn will find me sailing back to sea
But I when I sail I'll leave a part of me
Though you're untrue what can I do I love you
I can't forget you o'er the night I came ashore
[ steel ] The dawn will find me sailing back to sea...

ECHO ISLAND

(Harley Robinson) « © '62 Unichappell Music, BMI / Elvis Presley Music, BMI »
Love is lost on Echo Island hearts are broken just like mine
Kisses lost on Echo Island whispered love words seem so kind

Tender moments gone forever gone is all the love we knew
On the Island there's an echo softly saying I love you
[ steel ] Tender moments gone forever...

KUU-IPO-LANI (MY SWEETHEART LANI)

(Jerry Byrd) « © '62 Unichappell Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
Kuu-ipo-lani my sweetheart from Hawaii
Your hula hands are saying that your lips were only playing a game
We kissed and then you slipped away
To another's arms to stay
Your love awaits he calls your name Kuu-ipo-lani
[ steel ] You're gone the music fades and dies
Still I see your dusky eyes
The surfs and sands are whispering
That your love's a game of kissing
And then you'll do your dance of love once more
On another moonlit shore
I know he'll break your heart someday Kuu-ipo-lani Kuu-ipo-lani

HAWAIIAN WEDDING SONG

This is the moment I've waited for
I can hear my heart singing soon bells will be ringing
For this is the moment of sweet Aloha
I will love you longer than forever promise me that you will leave me never
Here and now dear all my love I vow dear
I will love you longer than forever promise me that you will leave me never
Now that we are one clouds won't hide the sun
Blue skies of Hawaiian smile on this our wedding day
[ steel ] On this our wedding day

HAWAIIAN BELLS

(Jerry Byrd) « © '62 Unichappell Music, BMI / Elvis Presley Music, BMI »
Hawaiian bells were ringing out across the bay
Native voice is singing on our parting day

Tears were in your eyes I was crying too
I still hear you whisper aloha I love you
I know I'll miss this our Island we knew we'd have to part
Hawaiian bells from my land the bells that broke my heart
[ vibes ] Tears were in your eyes I was crying too...

MY WONDERFUL ONE

(Jimmy Sweeney) « © '62 Unichappell Music, BMI / Elvis Presley Music, BMI »
All the Islands are sad cause you're leaving me
The Lord only knows just how lonesome I'll be
The days the nights we shared were so much fun
My darling my wonderful one

My wonderful one my wonderful one
You're sailing out to the sea
My wonderful one my wonderful one
Oh hurry home please hurry home to me
[ steel ] My wonderful one my wonderful one...

BLUE SAND

(Jerry Byrd) « © '62 Unichappell Music, BMI / Elvis Presley Music, BMI »
Blue sand you left my Island
Now I hold in my hand this blue blue sand
Blue sea that took you from me
We sigh and we're lonely the sea and me

Will you remember how moolight swims at sea
We laughed together you gave your love to me
And now there'll be blue days I'll wear a blue lace
Till we meet again someday on blue blue sand
[ steel ] Will you remember how moolight swims at sea...

HAWAII'S CALLING ME

(James B. Hosale) « © '62 Unichappell Music, BMI / Elvis Presley Music, BMI »
Hawaii calls to me come back to the land of love
To the beach of Waikiki and the stars that shine above
To the rolling surfs where the native boys will play
And a hula girl with a flower lace

Where the tradewinds are softly blowing the sails along
And steel guitars playing the Island songs
My paradise that's where I long to be
On my isle of dreams Hawaii calls to me
[ steel ] Where the tradewinds are softly blowing...
