KA-LU-A

Lyrics: Anne Caldwell; Music: Jerome Kern
From the musical Good Morning Dearie.
Sheet Music: T. B. Harms Co., New York
Recordings:
CD:
Where the feathered palm trees lightly sway
High above the blue Hawaiian bay
Set, in opal, rose and pearl
Are my mem'ries of a girl
Could I send a message to her, I'd say
When it's moonlight in Ka-lu-a
Night like this divine
It was moonlight in Ka-lu-a
When your kisses met mine
Although the rose and jasmine bloom as fair
And love is calling through the scented air, everywhere
It is lonely in Ka-lu-a
Because you are not there
Shadows fall from ev'ry haunted pine
Where the moonrays on the water shine
There's a road of spangled blue
That would lead me straight to you
Could I only follow the silver line
When it's moonlight in Ka-lu-a
Night like this divine
It was moonlight in Ka-lu-a
When your kisses met mine
Although the rose and jasmine bloom as fair
And love is calling through the scented air, everywhere
It is lonely in Ka-lu-a
Because you are not there
Mahalo to Larry W. Jones for the lyrics to this song.
