Softly the shadows fall
Changing the day to night
Softly the lovebirds call
In the sweet Hawaiian twilight
Then in the mellow glow
Comes a lullaby sweet and low

Wonderful song of dreams
Sweet is the story told
Lasting always it seems
In your mem'ry 'twill ne'er grow old
Song of the western sea
To Hawaii it's calling me

Hear that plaintive melody
A whisp'ring thro' the trees
Filled with love and harmony
Comes floating on the breeze

As the silver stars appear
Like magic in the sky
Hear them softly strumming
That Hawaiian lullaby
