Purple shadows play 'neath the koa trees
Far o're the western sea
Homeland mine, oh how I long for thee
Nightwinds bring the sweet ukalele
Strumming its melody
In my dreams, calling again to me
Silver moonbeams light up the mountain peaks on high
Baby stars are twinkling beneath the moth'ring sky
Mem'ries bring dream pictures of childhood scenes so grand
While my heart is crying for Sunset Land
I love each rock and rill
I love each vale and hill
Aloha 'oe fair isle so grand
Though o're the seas I roam
In dreams I'll journey home
Aloha Sunset Land
Oahu, where mem'ries are golden
I miss your coral'd strand
Isle of dreams, my own Hawaiian land
Where the rippling waters are playing
While sunbeams kiss the sea
Could you know how my heart yearns for thee
Daydreams bring the lilt of the birdlings song so gay
Where wild daisiys swayed by the tradewinds seem to play
Though the years may lead me afar o're oceans blue
With each sunset, I will return to you
I love each rock and rill
I love each vale and hill
Aloha 'oe fair isle so grand
Though o're the seas I roam
In dreams I'll journey home
Aloha Sunset Land
Mahalo to Larry W. Jones for these lyrics and the sheet music image.
