It seems I hear sweet music ringing
On each breeze from far Waikiki
I hear native Hawaiians singing
Sweet melodies so plaintively
In a garden of sunshine and flowers
There's someone who's waiting for me
She's praying and counting the hours
How I yearn to return o'er the sea
I left my love in fair Hawaii
Beneath the weeping willow trees
I dream of her and fair Hawaii
Isle of my fond memories
When evening shadows round me fall
I hear a sweet voice call
Aloha, farewell to thee
Come back, my love, to me
When evening draws nigh, I am lonely
My tho'ts, like the clouds, drift away
To lands where there's one I love only
I'm sighing for her night and day
All my cares turn to joy when she's near me
It's there I am longing to be
She's patiently waiting to cheer me
Soon I'll rest in love's nest o're the sea
I left my love in fair Hawaii
Beneath the weeping willow trees
I dream of her and fair Hawaii
Isle of my fond memories
When evening shadows round me fall
I hear a sweet voice call
Aloha, farewell to thee
Come back, my love, to me
Mahalo to Larry W. Jones for the lyrics and sheet music image for this song.
