When I left Hawaii far across the sea
It was with heavy heart I had to part
From someone dear to me
How my heart was aching
When I sailed away
A sweet Hawaiian fair
Was crying there
And now I hear her say
Come back to Waikiki
Come back my love to me
Upon the silver sand
We'll wander, dearie, hand in hand
While stars in heaven gleam
We'll linger on the shores and dream
Across the deep blue sea I'm calling tenderly
On come back to Waikiki and me
Oh my heart is drifting to Hawaii's shore
Just like my ship at sea will drift with me
Back to my love once more
Down at Honolulu
She is waiting there
And then when I return
No more we'll yearn
Each other's love we'll share
Come back to Waikiki
Come back my love to me
Upon the silver sand
We'll wander, dearie, hand in hand
While stars in heaven gleam
We'll linger on the shores and dream
Across the deep blue sea I'm calling tenderly
On come back to Waikiki and me
