I can see two eyes wherein the lovelight gleams
In my dreams, in my dreams
I can hear a voice as sweet as singing streams
My heart to beguile

O'er the old lagoon I see the glow-worm playing
Shoreward I can see the shellt'ring palm trees swaying
While from afar I can hear a guitar
Someone keeps softly saying:

Come where the moon is always shining
Down Honolulu way
Come where the palm trees sway
Night time is just like day

And, while the sweet guitars are ringing
We'll dream the night away
Where the moonbeams play on the distant bay
Down Honolulu way.

Dreamy eyes are watching on a south sea isle
All the while, all the while
Pretty lips are waiting with a wistful smile
My heart to beguile

Softer than the water in the fountain falling
Sweeter than an angel's eve'ning song enthralling
Whisp'ring to me of a blue, singing sea
Nightly a voice keeps calling:

Come where the moon is always shining
Down Honolulu way
Come where the palm trees sway
Night time is just like day

And, while the sweet guitars are ringing
We'll dream the night away
Where the moonbeams play on the distant bay
Down Honolulu way.
