Down by the southern sea
There at Waikiki
Someone waits for me
Beneath the dreamy summer moon
Hearts are all in time
Lovers softly croon
Their plaintive melodies of love
Far, far away in dreams
Where the moonlight gleams
There I stay it seems
And while my fancies come and go
One that I love so
Whispers sweet and low
Come back to dreamy paradise
CHORUS:
Drifting and dreaming
While shadows fall
Softly at twilight I hear you call
Love's old sweet story, told with your eyes
Drifting and dreaming, sweet paradise
Mahalo to Jimmy Fee for corrections to the chorus.
