There's a faraway island 'neath the silvery moonlight Just a paradise of dreams across the sea There's a maiden all alone and still waitin' On that old Hawaiian shore for me The tears they were falling and the night birds were calling As the breeze that night played through her hair so free The palm trees were swaying south guitars were playing Aloha oe, farewell to thee Happy lovers were strolling lazy waters were rolling As my ship set sail and drifted out to sea The moon seemed to wonder as he watched from up yonder When my darling waved a last goodbye to me When the shadows of twilight blend with gold of the sunset I'll be heading for that isle where dreams come true 'Mid that tropical splendor my heart will surrender On that old Hawaiian shore with you The tears they were falling and the night birds were calling As the breeze that night played through her hair so free The palm trees were swaying south guitars were playing Aloha oe, farewell to thee
