On golden sands of Waikiki
Beside the sun-kiss'd sea
She gave her heart to me
On strands of fair Hawaii's isle
I dwelt in paradise a while
Her eyes were bright as summer's skies
Her cheeks with love aflame
Would put the rose to shame
And all her charms she gave to me
On golden sands of Waikiki
Out of the past my heart will not forget
Still come the dreams and tears of vain regret
In ev'ry star I see those burning eyes
Night's gentle breeze echoes her yearning sighs
On golden sands of Waikiki
Beside the sun-kiss'd sea
I hear her calling me
To fair Hawaii's waving palms
That seem to beckon like her arms
Those slender hands that waved farewell
I know are clasp'd in pray'r
And she is waiting there
For days that nevermore shall be
On golden sands of Waikiki
Farewell to thee, my Waikiki
