There's a rainbow in the islands
For the angels placed a lei around Hawaii
And the strings sing of happiness
Where the misty hills are rolling to the sea
There's a whisper in the palm trees
Saying never leave us, never leave Hawaii
For there's magic here in paradise
And its lovliness will haunt your memory
Hawaii, fair Hawaii
Your lovely voice that calls across the sea
And I'll soon be returning and never more depart
For the angels placed a lei around Hawaii
And a rainbow in my heart
