Island Songs Of Larry Jones - Collection 6

Tropic Moon Showers (Larry W. Jones 02/04/2003) (song#1001)

Renowned is the glory and softness
Of the yellow tropic moon
Because of you, on her my love does rest
Since you shined full that month of June

My sweetheart is like the choisest flowers
My fragrant lei, my only one
Oh tropic moon, with love light my bower
My love for her has just begun

Sweet are the petals of island flowers
Soft as the twilight sun
And the yellow tropic moon now showers
Love for the sweet blossom that I’ve won

In The Skies Of Paradise (Larry W. Jones 02/04/2003) (song#1002)

In the skies of paradise where rainbows form
Therein lies a dream of you that’s born
Every little drop of rain holds a new surprise
Reflections of love I see within your eyes

In the skies of paradise where rainbows start
I feel your glow of love within my heart
Every little drop of rain reflects so nice
The beauty of your love in paradise

Oh, give ear to my song that love imparts
Come into my arms and let the music start
In the skies of paradise where rainbows are
Make my dreams come true within your heart

In the skies of paradise where rainbows start
I feel your glow of love within my heart
Every little drop of rain reflects so nice
The beauty of your love in paradise

Reflections Of Aloha (Larry W. Jones 02/04/2003) (song#1003)

Though you’ve departed, I still have your lei
And I still stroll the sand where we used to play
Reflections of Aloha, reflections of love
Still haunt my memories and dreams I dream of

Though you’ve departed, I treasure your letters
And when I hear our songs I feel a little better
Reflections of Aloha, reflections of love
Still haunt my memories and dreams I dream of

On the tropic island breeze, and the balmy summer rain
In the pounding of the reef, I hear your name again
Oh return, my love ease my fears
Only then will I no longer have to hear

Reflections of Aloha, reflections of love
For I will be again with my one and only love
Reflections of Aloha, reflections of love
For I will be again with my one and only love

Eighteen Tuberoses (Larry W. Jones 02/04/2003) (song#1004)

Eighteen tuberoses and a fragrant maile lei
I knew that you would know just what they meant
I didn’t know what to say, so I just sent
Eighteen tuberoses and a fragrant maile lei

You opened up my card to see what it said
You must surely know that I love you every day
To express to you my love, all that it read, was
Eighteen tuberoses and a fragrant maile lei

I didn’t have the courage to ask you to say I do
But you know that I’ll love you forever and a day
And these blossoms could never be as sweet as you
Eighteen tuberoses and a fragrant maile lei

Please call me on the phone in a day or two
My heart will wait so patiently, night and day
And if I must, then again I’ll send to you
Eighteen tuberoses and a fragrant maile lei
And if I must, then again I’ll send to you
Eighteen tuberoses and a fragrant maile lei

Our Paradise (Larry W. Jones 02/04/2003) (song#1005)

The tropic sun just keeps on shining
The oceans rush to kiss the shore
Like the sun and tide, I want you by my side
Because I will love you evermore

Birds of paradise are winging
In the peaceful skies of blue above
You’re the reason why they keep on singing
They know that you’re the one I love

Every morning when I awaken on the isle
I wonder what you’ll say to make me smile
Just the sight of you, delight of you
Makes this a paradise for two

My heart for you will beat forever
Aloha will always mean hello, goodbye never
Our love will be as bright as the skies
Here on our isle of love, our paradise

Infinite Ocean (Larry W. Jones 02/05/2003) (song#1006)

Infinite ocean, your horizons becon me
This ship will take me back from where I’ve roamed
It’s been many fortnights since I’ve seen her smile
I’ll be looking from the crow’s nest for my island home

How many days until I hold her again
How many nights will my heart stand the strain
Infinite ocean, she knows how much I miss her
Bounding ‘ore the waves for my love to confer

Lonesome ocean, like the feeling in my heart
Steering through the night that seems to never end
I’ll just think about her while we’re still apart
When the sun comes dawning I’ll be with her again

How many days until I hold her again
How many nights will my heart stand the strain
Infinite ocean, she knows how much I miss her
Bounding ‘ore the waves for my love to confer

Gonna Find Her Isle (Larry W. Jones 02/05/2003) (song#1007)

Love on an island is the tie that binds
I know there’s not a better kind
The kind that makes the world seem right
The kind you dream of every night
The kind you dream of every night

Because in my dreams she always comes
From and island in the tropic sun
I know she’s there, I know it’s true
She’s in my dreams when I feel blue
She’s in my dreams when I feel blue

I’ve searched the whole world far and wide
Love will come on some evening tide
I won’t stop til love is eye to eye
I’m gonna find her isle of paradise
I’m gonna find her isle of paradise

Because in my dreams she always comes
From and island in the tropic sun
I know she’s there, I know it’s true
She’s in my dreams when I feel blue
She’s in my dreams when I feel blue

I’ve searched the whole world far and wide
Love will come on some evening tide
I won’t stop til love is eye to eye
I’m gonna find her isle of paradise
I’m gonna find her isle of paradise

Island Shadows (Larry W. Jones 02/05/2003) (song#1008)

Island shadows, you come each night to grieve me
You remind me of the time when she would leave me
Island shadows, you shade the love from my bower
Why must you cast your shade and love devour
These island shadows shade me from my island love

Island shadows fall across the cottage wall
The happy times we had together I recall
Oh, island shadows, into night you turn until the dawn
I don’t think I can carry on, I’m a hand without a glove
These island shadows shade me from my island love

Forever Island Love (Larry W. Jones 02/05/2003) (song#1009)

Love soft as your long black hair
New and fresh as the tradewind air
An isle of love that bonds us two
An island love for me and you

A sweet tuberose where tradewinds blow
The isle makes sure that love will grow
Love forever from above
Forever island love

We’ll have a love that’s never ending
Every day will be a new beginning
Your love’s the kind I dreaming of
Forever island love

Two stars will shine as though they’re one
Two for you and me bright as the sun
Make dreams come true like turtledoves
Forever island love

Everybody Loves An Island (Larry W. Jones 02/05/2003) (song#1010)

Everybody loves an island sometime
Everybody falls in island love somehow
Somebody loves someone in Hawaii blue
And this somebody loves someone like you

Everybody needs somebody’s sweet embrace
Everybody needs a love that’s true
An island is a warm and lovely place
And this somebody’s warmly in love with you

If I could make rainbows from every shower
I’d paint the skies with every color of the sun
Then on an island filled with flowers
I’d find you in my arms when day is done

Everybody loves an island sometime
And my favorite island is Hawaii blue
The love you give is soft as Maui chimes
And this somebody loves someone like you

Love Is Like An Island (Larry W. Jones 02/05/2003) (song#1011)

An island is a magic place, an anchor in a storm
It might be just a little space, for those who are forlorn
And if dreams turn into rubble leaving you nowhere to roam
An island is a magic place, an island is your home

An island is a window pane, to see out your heart’s door
Love is out there somewhere, on some distant shore
If you’re ever in despair, and need a love that’s true
An island is a magic place, to make your dreams come true

An island is a gathering place, Honolulu comes to mind
Living there is ohana love, humble, deep and kind
An island is a place to stroll on the sandy shore
Hand in hand with the one you love, to love each other more

An island is somewhere in the stream, maybe just a dream
But there you’ll find no pain, rainbows when it rains
An island lasts forever, it can make your dreams come true
And my love is like an island, forever loving you

An island is a gathering place, Honolulu comes to mind
Living there is ohana love, humble, deep and kind

An island is sand, bays and mountains, time to make the change
Time to hear the music of steel guitar refrains
An island lasts forever, it can make your dreams come true
And my love is like an island, forever loving you

How Much You Mean (Larry W. Jones 02/05/2003) (song#1012)

Do you remember that isle sunset
It was in september that you and I first met
It was in Hawaii out in the peaceful sea
I just want to tell you how much you mean to me

You’re the one I’m been thinking of
Come with me to the isle of love
It was in Hawaii out in the peaceful sea
I just want to tell you how much you mean to me

Come with me to the isle of love
You’re the one I’ve been dreaming of
Love is in Hawaii out in the peaceful sea
I just want to tell you how much you mean to me

Do you remember that september moon
It was in september, they played that island tune
It was in Hawaii out in the peaceful sea
I just want to tell you how much you mean to me

Come with me to the isle of love
You’re the one I’ve been dreaming of
Love is in Hawaii out in the peaceful sea
I just want to tell you how much you mean to me

You Make The Island Beautiful (Larry W. Jones 02/05/2003) (song#1013)

Born from the peaceful ocean
A place called paradise
A dream with sweet emotion
Is you there in my eyes

You make the island beautiful
You’re oh so real, more than just a friend
You make the island beautiful
My love for you will never end

Born from the peaceful valleys
And by the sundrenched bay
Island flowers blossom gaily
For your fragrant necklace lei

You make the island beautiful
You’re oh so real, more than just a friend
You make the island beautiful
My love for you will never end

And if paradise is all that it was meant to be
It’s because you are here with me

You make the island beautiful
You’re oh so real, more than just a friend
You make the island beautiful
My love for you will never end
My love for you will never end
My love for you will never end

Is This What It’s Like (Larry W. Jones 02/05/2003) (song#1014)

Is this what it’s like to fall in love
Is she now your love, not just your friend
Is this how it feels when love comes over you
Is this the kind of love that never ends

First of all, she’s always there to talk to
And when you speak, she will listen too
Words seem to come so easy from the blue
Words can’t describe what’s come over you

The nights are warm even in the winter time
You talk about warm islands where the weather’s fine
And tomorrow when you go to work at nine
You can’t wait to see her when it’s quitting time

Is this what it’s like to fall in love
Is she now your love, not just your friend
Is this how it feels when love comes over you
Is this the kind of love that never ends

When you heart flutters like a butterfly
And the only thing you see is the love that’s in her eyes
You didn’t know that love was such a sweet surprise
You’re not alone anymore, you’re in paradise

Is this what it’s like to fall in love
Is she now your love, not just your friend
Is this how it feels when love comes over you
This is the kind of love that never ends

Island Kind Of Love (Larry W. Jones 02/06/2003) (song#1015)

When I’m in Hawaii blue, baby you are too
And when I stroll with you, never am I blue
When you’re here beside me, I hear Hawaiian drums beat
I feel it in my heart beat any time you’re near

Here beside the sea, under high palm trees
You and I share an island kind of love
Nighttime’s when I want you, you know that I want to
Hold you in my arms, under stars above

Your lips are such a thrill, my dreams you do fulfill
We share the feelings we can’t hide
Here beside the sea, under high palm trees
You and I share an island kind of love

When I’m in Hawaii blue, baby you are too
And when I stroll with you, never am I blue
When you’re here beside me, I hear Hawaiian drums beat
I feel it in my heart beat any time you’re near

Here beside the sea, under high palm trees
You and I share an island kind of love

Islands Are For Loving You (Larry W. Jones 02/06/2003) (song#1016)

Islands are for loving you
They stand the test of time
But islands are just a memory
Of our old sweet happy times

Islands are for loving you
They are, come what may
But islands now just make me blue
Since you went away

Those island flowers that grew for you
Well they still grow, in Hawaii blue
Sometimes I feel my heart break in two
And time cannot heal my wanting you

Islands are for loving you
They stand the test of time
But islands are just a memory
Of our old sweet happy times

Those island flowers that grew for you
Well they still grow, in Hawaii blue
Sometimes I feel my heart break in two
And time cannot heal my wanting you
No, time cannot heal my wanting you

Heart Of An Island Lady (Larry W. Jones 02/06/2003) (song#1017)

He sailed his ship with a salty gang
He sailed to islands warm and shady
He sang salty songs til the island rang
And he won the heart of an island lady

The salty sailor sailed his ship from Spain
He brought presents for a lady
He sang salty songs til the island rang
And he won the heart of an island lady

She left the chieftan’s village there
She left for to board the ship, a whaler
She left for her true love affair
She would marry her salty sailor

Oh the chieftan paddled his fast canoe
Across the bay to the whaler
He wanted the lady back real soon
Away from the salty sailor

At last he came through the ocean brine
To the sailor he thought was shady
But then he heard sweet music so fine
Being played for the island lady

Oh he’s no salty sailor they say
He wears finest clothes from a Spanish tailor
And for our wedding he gave a lei
I’ll marry my distinguished sailor

He sailed his ship with a salty gang
He sailed to islands warm and shady
He sang salty songs til the island rang
And he won the heart of an island lady
And he won the heart of an island lady

Forever Hawaiian Music (Larry W. Jones 02/10/2003) (song#1018)

There will forever be Hawaiian music
Oh yes there will always be an island song
There will forever be Hawaiian music
Oh yes there will always be an island song

Ever since there was Hawaiian sand
There was music from an island man
And wherever island people meet
There you’ll find a Hawaiian beat

All you have to do is stroll around
Everywhere you go, before too long
You will hear that sweet island sound
Of another Hawaiian island song

There will forever be Hawaiian music
Oh yes there will always be an island song
There will forever be Hawaiian music
Oh yes there will always be an island song

No matter the island where you go
Music is the language that we all know
Hear the ukuleles and guitars ring
Hawaiian music is made to make you sing

There will forever be Hawaiian music
Oh yes there will always be an island song
There will forever be Hawaiian music
Oh yes there will always be an island song

A Whalin’ Notion (Larry W. Jones 02/10/2003) (song#1019)

Well he got him a whalin’ notion
To hunt whales in the arctic ocean
And his island love he left there cried
When he sailed away on the evening tide

Well she cried for her sailor man
Then she dried her tears and wiped her hands
When she met another sailor man
On the island strolling in the sand

I know why you’re so full of emotion
Your sailor man’s in the arctic ocean
But if you will give your hand to me
I’ll never go whalin’ in the arctic sea

He bought her a cottage down by the bay
He bought her a wedding ring
The baby was born in the month of May
They made music in the cottage sing

One day the whaler returned on the evening tide
He returned from the arctic over oceans wide
But now his love was another’s bride
He was gone too long and now he cried

So if you sailors get a whalin’ notion
To hunt whales in the arctic ocean
If you don’t want to sing a wailin’ song
Better marry her now or she’ll be gone
If you don’t want to sing a wailin’ song
Better marry her now or she’ll be gone

Old Sugar Mill Dream (Larry W. Jones 02/10/2003) (song#1020)

Over by the old sugar mill
Down by the valley stream
I lingered there with you until
You became my island dream

Over by the old sugar mill
Down where I first met you
It was there my dreams you filled
Over in Hawaii blue

Over by the old sugar mill
It didn’t take very long
My heart fell like Jack for Jill
When it heard love’s island song

Love by the old sugar mill down by the valley stream
That same love’s still found with you in my island dreams

Over by the old sugar mill
You were dressed in island twill
I fell in love with you
Over in Hawaii blue

Over by the old sugar mill
The night was young and so were we
I remember your kisses still
In Hawaii by the silver sea

Love by the old sugar mill down by the valley stream
That same love’s still found with you in my island dreams

Over by the old sugar mill
Down by the valley stream
I lingered there with you until
You became my island dream

Beautiful Isle Of Moonlight (Larry W. Jones 02/10/2003) (song#1021)

Somewhere the moon is shining
Where warm tropic islands dwell
Beams of love from the moon are lining
The island with it’s magic spell

Beautiful, beautiful moonlight
Beautiful isle of moonlight
Hawaii blue, where love is true
Beautiful isle of moonlight

Somewhere the moon is shining
Where time goes slowly along
My heart is forever pining
For Hawaii, my island home

Somewhere the moon is shining
When sets the gold island sun
Sweet love the moon is designing
In Hawaii when day is done

Beautiful, beautiful moonlight
Beautiful isle of moonlight
Hawaii blue, where love is true
Beautiful isle of moonlight
Hawaii blue, where love is true
Beautiful isle of moonlight

Diamonds On Silvery Seas (Larry W. Jones 02/10/2003) (song#1022)

Kiss me tonight on the island
Under the big yellow moon
Kiss me tonight dear while I’m
Here where love is in bloom

Come while the moon’s light is beaming
From night skies of velvety blue
Come to me while we’re both dreaming
Of love meant for me and you

Kiss me again and then listen
To love on the tradewind breeze
See the beams of love glisten
Like diamonds on silvery seas

Kiss me tonight on the island
Under the big yellow moon
Kiss me tonight dear while I’m
Here where love is in bloom

Kiss me again and then listen
To love on the tradewind breeze
See the beams of love glisten
Like diamonds on silvery seas
Like diamonds on silvery seas

In The Quiet Island Time (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1023)

In the quiet island time
Strolling in the sand so fine
Holding hands with baby mine
In the quiet island time

In the quiet island time
Strolling by the peaceful bay
My island love looks oh so fine
When she wears her flower lei

In the quiet island time
Kissing her is a delight
Her lips are like the sweetest wine
When I hold my baby tight

In the quiet island time
She knows what I will say
Will you be forever mine
And soon will come our wedding day

In the meantime I will be
Dreaming of her being mine
In a paradise for her and me
In the quiet island time

Tiki Torch Lightin’ Time (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1024)

There’s a tiki torch by the cottage
Dear mother said it shines for me
There’s a tiki torch by the cottage
She lights it whenever I go to sea

When it’s tiki torch lightin’ time
I’ll think of her back home
She lights them at twilight time
To guide me safely home

By the torch light through the window
In the little cottage by the bay
I can see her in the evening shadow
As she bends her head to pray

Dear mother patiently is waiting
For the sun to paint that silver line
I can feel the storms abating
When it’s tiki torch lightin’ time

There’s a tiki torch by the cottage
Dear mother said it shines for me
There’s a tiki torch by the cottage
She lights it whenever I go to sea
There’s a tiki torch by the cottage
Dear mother said it shines for me

Fish ‘N Poi Dreaming (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1025)

An island dream is when you make a wish
And that island dream comes true
For an island boy, eating poi and fish
In Hawaii is a dream come true

An island dream will make you jump for joy
When she says right from the blue
I want a man who eats fish and poi
And will love me with a love that’s true

Well if you have faith in what you wish
This is what I’m telling you
Take her out to eat some poi and fish
And she’ll want to marry you

An island dream is when you make a wish
And that island dream comes true
For an island boy, eating poi and fish
With your wife is a dream come true

So if you want to jump for island joy
Have faith that your dreams are true
Just dream about eating fish and poi
And she’ll be your dream in Hawaii blue

Paddle Out (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1026)

Paddle out to your favorite isle
And feel the tradewind breeze
Watch your worries turn to smiles
On an island in the tropic seas

On an island there’s no chill
When you’re strollin’ under tall palm trees
And your heart won’t need no pill
On an island just take your ease

You can drink Kona coffee for breakfast
If you’re gonna stay awhile
And you can go to the luau with us
The girls there will make you smile

So pack your heart and come along
To where you sing those island songs
Paddle out to your favorite isle
And watch your worries turn to smiles

Be sure to plan a long vacation
Doin’ nothing is a fine vocation
So, paddle out to your favorite isle
And watch your worries turn to smiles

That Island Girl (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1027)

An island boy needs an island girl
Who will stay there by his side
And at the end of a tropic day
He’s refreshed by the things she’ll say

An island boy needs an island girl
To hold in his strong brown arms
Her love will be like an island pearl
And he’ll keep their love from harm

At the end of a long hard day
She will tune his guitar strings
In the nighttime she will play
Music to his heart that sings

An island boy needs an island girl
To make his every dream come true
This island boy has an island girl
And that island girl is you
This island boy has an island girl
And that island girl is you

Tropic Garden Day (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1028)

They were only roses in a tropic shower
A little garden full of island flowers
A rainbow of colors underneath a sky of blue

Drops of rain fell upon the sweet maikoa
The flowers raised their heads and said Aloha
I think I heard them say Mahalo nui loa

There was magic in the tropic garden view
The roses seemed to love the fragrant dew
Almost as much as I love you

They were only roses in a tropic shower
And then the sun shined warmly in its power
And you and I strolled on by the bay

There was magic in the tropic garden view
The roses seemed to love the fragrant dew
Almost as much as I love you

They were only roses in a tropic shower
And then the sun shined warmly in its power
And you and I strolled on by the bay
Just a tropic garden kind of day

Cottage In Paradise (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1029)

Some bamboo, a grass roof, and a curtain or two
It won’t take but a little of my time
I’ll build us a little cottage in the palms
And we’ll make music sweet as Maui chimes

Down where the tall palms sway in the breeze
Where the birds of paradise flies
With our little cottage I know she’ll be pleased
And I know we’ll be happy under tropic skies

Some bamboo, a grass roof, and a curtain or two
Some tiki torches by the porches
And a lovely bay to give us a view
A lovely place for just me and you

Down where the tall palms sway in the breeze
Where the birds of paradise flies
That’s where we’ll love and do as we please
In our little cottage paradise

Some bamboo, a grass roof, and a curtain or two
Our little cottage in paradise

I Need You Back Again (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1030)

An island in the stream
Is just an island made of dreams
And a cottage in the palms
Is just a prayer that’s sad with alms
When you’re not there
It’s not paradise
Can’t place a flower in your hair
Or see your sleepy eyes

A beach is just some sand
When you’re just a lonely island man
The tradewinds are blowing cold
Cause you’re not here to hold
An island in the stream
Is just an island made of dreams
When you said we had to part
You left me with a broken heart

When the moon is on the rise
Instead of feeling love
I have to dry my eyes
When I see the stars above
I need you back again
For this heart of mine to mend

So, if you think of me
Maybe it could be
That you and I can start anew
Renew those vows I swore to you
And turn this lonely island in the stream
Into more than just a dream
I need you back again
For this heart of mine to mend

I need you back again
For this heart of mine to mend

And You Move Me (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1031)

If I lived until eternity
It would take that long for me
To fill an island full of dreams
They would all be gleams
Of you

You’re in every tradewind breeze
You’re everywhere the flowers grow
You’re everything there is to me
You’re the only love I want to know

Anyone who sees you
Wants to only please you
You’re like a painting from the Louvre
You make the islands move
And you move me

You’re too beyond compare
The flower in your hair
Has the fragrance of your love
You’re the one I think most of
I do

You’re in every tradewind breeze
You’re everywhere the flowers grow
You’re everything there is to me
You’re the only love I want to know

Anyone who sees you
Wants to only please you
You’re like a painting from the Louvre
You make the islands move
And you move me

A Little Voice (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1032)

A little voice on the tradewind breeze
A little zephyr wind might ask you please
Do you know an island, a rainbow, a mountain high
A sandy beach, a place where birds of paradise fly
Do you have a love that will be true
Do you know that she loves you

A little voice on the tradewind breeze
Will whisper words of love your heart to please
Have you ever held her tight
Underneath that tropic moon so bright
Do you have a love that will be true
Do you know that she loves you

And when you hear a little voice on the tradewind breeze
A little zephyr wind that asks you please
You can answer with a song
A simple verse that’s not too long
Do you know that she loves you
And your heart will answer, yes I do

You can answer with a song
A simple verse that’s not too long
Do you know that she loves you
And your heart will answer, yes I do

And The Dream (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1033)

Once upon a time I had a dream
It was in Hawaii blue
I thought it was just a lover’s scheme
That never would come true
But then I felt a ring on my heart’s string
And the dream turned into you

And the dream turned into you

I felt your soft gentle hands
We strolled along the island sands
I still remember paradise
I still see it in your eyes
Now I know dreams do come true
And the dream turned into you

And the dream turned into you

Once upon a time I dreamed I saw an angel’s face
I dreamed she had an angel’s grace
I thought it was just a lover’s scheme
That never would come true
But then I held you tight in the tropic moonlit night
And the dream turned into you

And the dream turned into you
And the dream turned into you

Anchor Me (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1034)

Anchor me oh my love
When the evening tide brings storms thereof
When my ship flounders helplessly
Oh my love please anchor me

Swift flows the current past the reef and bay
Love must answer me without delay
I might lose my way when out to sea
Oh my love please anchor me

I need you by my side in the darkest hour
When the ocean roars with frightful power
In my dreams I call to thee
Oh my love please anchor me

Through tempest tossed and lonely times
Through tropic isles and arctic climes
There is one I dream thereof
Anchor me oh my love

I need you by my side in the darkest hour
When the ocean roars with frightful power
In my dreams I call to thee
Oh my love please anchor me
Oh my love please anchor me

So Suddenly (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1035)

When you light the tiki torch
She fires your heart until it’s schorched
And reality becomes a blur
It came so suddenly, your love for her

She has the darkest polynesian eyes (polynesian eyes)
Reflecting light from moonlit skies (light from moonlit skies)
Her kiss is like the sweet perfume
Of island roses in the month of June
And you wonder at the beauty there
And smell the fragrant flower in her hair
It came so suddenly, your love for her

No Fun All Alone (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1036)

I would like to anchor in the stream
And stop this drifting empty dream
It’s no fun all alone
In this tropic zone

In this tropic zone, when stars are out at night
I wish only that I might
Stroll hand in hand with someone only
So I won’t be so lonely

In this tropic zone, I just watch the clock
On Aloha tower by the dock
I would like to anchor in the stream
And stop this drifting empty dream
It’s no fun all alone
In this tropic zone

It’s no fun all alone
In this tropic zone

When I Dream (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1037)

When I dream I dream of you
When the day has dawned the dream’s not through

You’re on my mind when each day is new
You’re the song I sing when day is through
You’re the object of my dream, my love

If I could add to a week just another day
You would be in my dreams, the prayers I pray

In skies of paradise in Hawaii blue
Island time would be the right time to
Dream a dream of you

Time For Love To Croon (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1038)

When the moon is out of sight, I dream about the night
I dream that I might spend some time with you
When the moon is out of sight, I’m dreaming all the time
I’m dreaming of the time when you’ll be mine

The stars come out at night, it’s time to hold you tight
Down by the bay
Up comes the yellow moon, it’s time for love to croon
The night away

When there comes the dawn of day, I wipe the sleep away
But the dream is still of you
At the end of day, I come running right away
And together we dream anew

The stars come out at night, it’s time to hold you tight
Down by the bay
Up comes the yellow moon, it’s time for love to croon
The night away

Slumber Now (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1039)

Slumber now my lovely island beauty
Hold close your dreams
Again tomorrow please dream of me
With island themes

Soft comes the moonbeams peeping
Through your window while you’re sleeping
Slumber now my lovely island beauty
And dream of me

The drums of the islands are all silent
Dreams are of peace and things not violent
Slumber now my lovely island beauty
Of the peaceful sea

On such beauty so beguiling
The stars above are on you smiling
Slumber now my lovely island beauty
And dream of me

Soft comes the moonbeams peeping
Through your window while you’re sleeping
Slumber now my lovely island beauty
And dream of me

Must Be In Island Love (Larry W. Jones 02/11/2003) (song#1040)

This day in the life of an island man
Is a day full of happiness in island sand
I think I must be in island love

Someone said wipe this silly grin off my face
I’m strolling down the beach at a faster pace
I think I must be in island love

I hear ukuleles playin’, steel guitars sayin’
There’s a song in my heart that’s staying

And when I hear my heart strings sing
I know that island love is the thing
That keeps my feet off the ground
Any time that you’re around
I think I must be in island love

Love From The Blue (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2003) (song#1041)

And your love for me is gold
The island told me so
A dream you are to behold
That’s all that I know

Understanding is just a guess
Why my life was loneliness
But now my life is blessed
With you here on this island sand

Just a moonlit night ago
My life was like a stage for show
Little did they know
The emptiness inside of me

And I will not forget
That evening when we met
Now there’s no regrets
Because you’re here with me

Your love came from the blue
My thoughts are just of you
You say you love me too
And that I love you is plain to see

Tuberoses Every Day (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2003) (song#1042)

Every way that I could think of
I tried to tell her of my love
I told her that she looked so fair
With a flower in her long black hair

But my heart was so uncertain
I thought that she might pull love’s curtain
So I sent her island tuberoses
And the rest is history

Tuberoses, sweet and fragrant island tuberoses
The blossoms of the spring, and every day between
Island love is prospering
And from now on every day
I’ll bring her tuberoses for her fragrant island lei

But my heart was so uncertain
I thought that she might pull love’s curtain
So I sent her island tuberoses
And the rest is history

To Live For You (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2003) (song#1043)

I find me wanting to be near you
I want love to always steer you
Toward my island shore
And then I want you more

Your love is what I want forever
Your love is worth all endeavor

A lifetime of love is what I’ll give
I’ll give up everything to live
For you
I’ll give up everything to live
For you

I only ask of you one thing
Let me love you in the Spring
Fall and Winter, Summer too
That’s all I ask of you

In your crown I’ll make tropic stars abound
A rainbow ring will fit your hand
Every day we’ll hear sweet island sounds
You’ll be my queen in island sand

A lifetime of love is what I’ll give
I’ll give up everything to live
For you
I’ll give up everything to live
For you

Aloha Honolulu (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2003) (song#1044)

Aloha Honolulu
Sayonara, goodbye to Oahu

Island of paradise like places
Island of polynesian faces
Where I found love that replaces
Loneliness at home

Aloha Honolulu
Sayonara, goodbye to my heart

I’ll just have to return by winging it
My heart is already singing it
Those wedding bells will be swinging it
On our wedding day

Island of paradise like places
Island of polynesian faces
Where I found love that replaces
Loneliness at home

Aloha Honolulu
Sayonara, goodbye to my heart

I’ll just have to return by winging it
My heart is already singing it
Those wedding bells will be swinging it
On our wedding day

Aloha Honolulu
Sayonara, goodbye to my heart

For I Love You (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2003) (song#1045)

Strolling here hand in hand
In this island, island sand
Let me be your island man
For I love you

Tonight the yellow moon is out
I’m your fellow, have no doubt
Your love I can’t do without
For I love you

And when the moon shines on the silver sea
May beams of love draw you forever close to me
We’ll count the stars and feel the gentle breeze
And your love will my heart always please
For I love you

May beams of love
Draw you forever close to me
My heart will be so pleased
For I love you

Manakoora Moon (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2003) (song#1046)

Manakoora moon, serene upon the sea
Manakoora moon, beams of love for you and me
Tonight will be a magic night in this month of June
Love has now arrived with the Manakoora moon

Manakoora moon, you shine so peacefully
Manakoora moon, our love will be a hurricane
My heart is like the waves, it beats tempestuously
Our love is now your slave, Manakoora moon

I hear the melody of a romantic scene
I feel the harmony that island love can bring
Under the Manakoora moon you display your charms
Love is now in bloom with you here in my arms

Manakoora moon, love’s perfect melody
Manakoora moon, shines for you and me
This magic night in June is like an island tune
A song of love under the Manakoora moon

Manakoora moon, serene upon the sea
Manakoora moon, beams of love for you and me
Tonight will be a magic night in this month of June
Love has now arrived with the Manakoora moon

What Was Ample (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2003) (song#1047)

When mem’ries of past loves come to me
I dream of yours and mine in my sleep
Scenes of happy island days in a tropic sea
And then I can’t help but weep

Many were the pleasures I would sample
From islands drifting in the stream
I didn’t realize that what was ample
Was all the love you gave to me

Islands in the sun and under palm trees in the shade
Were days of happiness that only your love made
But now those days have gone from your polynesian eyes
And island days are gone amid my broken hearted cries

I know I’ve got to think about tomorrow
But I think it might just bring more sorrow
When again those dreams of you return
And the foolishness of losing you will burn

Many were the pleasures I would sample
From islands drifting in the stream
I didn’t realize that what was ample
Was all the love you gave to me

Another Whirl With You (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2003) (song#1048)

I’d like to have another whirl
Another island whirl
I’d like to have another whirl or two, and when I do
I’d like for it to be with you
Because you made my dream, my Hawaii dream come true

I’d like to have another whirl
Another island whirl
I’d like to have another whirl or two, with you there
I’d place another flower in your hair
Because your love is so far beyond compare

Nights of tropic dreams will always pass us by
Unless I hold you close forever, and then I…

I’d like to have another whirl
Another island whirl
I’d like to have another whirl or two, and when I do
I’d like for it to be with you
Because you made my dream, my Hawaii dream come true

Nights of tropic dreams will always pass us by
Unless I hold you close forever, and then I…

I’d like to have another whirl
Another island whirl
I’d like to have another whirl or two, with you there
I’d place another flower in your hair
Because your love is so far beyond compare
I’d like to have another whirl with you

It’s A Sign (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2003) (song#1049)

Strolling with your hand in mine
The feeling’s hard to yet define
Love, like the stars so brightly shine
A sign that I’m in love with you

The moon is out for us tonight
I have no dought when we are out
That your love I can’t be without
A sign that I’m in love with you

And when I kiss you and hold you close
I feel the waves of love that flows
It’s like riding a fast canoe
A sign that I’m in love with you

And when I kiss you
And hold you close
It’s a sign that I’m
In love with you

With Love As Theme (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2003) (song#1050)

Time will always fly, don’t let it pass you by
Love is still the theme, it isn’t just a dream
On islands in the stream

Tradewinds will whisper too, love is she and you
Your heart will melt, it seems, like choclate and ice cream
On islands in the stream

So, dig for love like a Spanish piece of eight
Don’t let a heart of gold dift your way too late
If you start now then love will reign supreme
On islands in the stream

Love sings the same sweet rhyme, love on island time
A moon in June and a dream with love as theme
On islands in the stream

Mary Ann And Me (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2003) (song#1051)

Her name was Mary Ann
We strolled together in the sand
I thought I’d be her island man
But it wasn’t to be true
Now my dreams of Mary Ann are colored blue

She was as soft as Maui chimes
She was love’s song that I could sing
Then she was gone before love had its prime
But in dreams she’s still my everything

And her name was Mary Ann
I kissed her there in island sand
The yellow moon was full in June
But what about that tune
It was as soft as Maui chimes
But I guess I didn’t take the time
Or maybe time was spent
On things that were not meant
To seal the love within her heart
And now in dreams of Mary Ann my heart laments

I didn’t get to say Aloha to that girl
She went away and took away my world
There’s no other place I’d rather be
Than there with her or her with me

And her name was Mary Ann
Our love was not to be
We strolled together in the sand
Mary Ann and me

I think of things I didn’t say
Like, Mary Ann please would you stay
But now I’ll live my life this way
A lonely island in the stream
But at least I still can dream
Of Mary Ann and me that day

And her name was Mary Ann
Our love was not to be
We strolled together in the sand
Mary Ann and me

Oh Kapa Leilani (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2003) (song#1052)

Kapa Leilani … when the moon is on the sea … Kapa Leilani
I call for you to come to me, in my dreams, my memory
From the empty rooms within my heart…Kapa Leilani…I call to you
Oh Kapa Leilani…Oh, Leilani

Leilani is in my memory of islands long ago
The moon was full, heart strings were pulled
And love was as beautiful as a new rainbow
But now she’s gone and still I call for her alone

Kapa Leilani…are you near enough to hear
Ho’olu’olu…please come to still my fears
How I long to hear your song and see you smile
So you’ll know that my call is sincere

A Dream Will Come (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2003) (song#1053)

A dream will come to you
And this is what it will say
Give your heart to one who’s love is true
This dream might come today

Tradewinds will whisper in your ear
And dreams may come from far away
Love is the song that you will hear
This dream might come today

Expectations of the heart
Are wrapped up in your dreams
Love will play its special part
On an island in the stream

You don’t have to try to find it
Islands call to you and me
All you have to do is bind it
Upon your heart for you to see

Someday you will find it
A dream will come to you
And you won’t be behind it
A dream will be in front of you

A dream will come to you
From an island’s distant shores
It will fall from skies of blue
And you will make it yours

A dream will come to you
Come to you
Come to you
A dream will come to you

Kauanakakai Mayor My Eye! (Larry W. Jones 02/14/2003) (song#1054)

Well I let the old geezer try his best to please her
But she didn’t listen to all his lies
And now the cockeyed mayor of Kaunakakai
Is trying to get the apple of my eye. (the apple of my eye)

I know that all the guys on the island try
To ask her out when the stars come out at night
But that cockeyed mayor of Kaunakakai
Better not let me out of sight

He better start paddlin’
His big canoe out across the bay
Or else I’ll be a-straddlin’
His cockeyed head to his dismay

Now I can let the old geezer try his best to please her
And I can let all the guys on the island try
But my wahini is the apple of my eye
She’s not the girl for that cockeyed mayor of Kaunakakai

He better start paddlin’
His big canoe out across the bay
Or else I’ll be a-straddlin’
His cockeyed head to his dismay

Now I can let the old geezer try his best to please her
And I can let all the guys on the island try
But my wahini is the apple of my eye
She’s not the girl for that cockeyed mayor of Kaunakakai
Kauanakakai mayor, my eye!

Never Make Me Blue (Larry W. Jones 02/14/2003) (song#1055)

Is there a girl on the island sand
Who would stroll with me hand in hand
Until the end of time, and she would be just mine
And never make me blue

A girl whose lovely charms
Wait only for my arms
A girl who would be true, maybe dance the hula too
And never make me blue

Or, did I ask a lot, maybe so or maybe not
Or, did I come across as some big shot
I know there’s a girl somewhere on the isle
Who can make my broken heart now smile
But until this guy meets you
I wonder if it’s true
Or if she too will make me blue

I know there’s a girl somewhere on the isle
Who can make my broken heart now smile
But until this guy meets you
I wonder if it’s true
Or if she too will make me blue
Please don’t ever make me blue

Finally You Came (Larry W. Jones 02/14/2003) (song#1056)

Finally you came along
Like love from an island song
And I held your hand soft as a dove
As we wished on stars above
Finally you came to me

Finally I heard your voice so sweet
Aloha was the words we said to greet
And I’m in ecstasy because love came to be
Finally you spoke to me

Your love is like sweet wine
Your love for me
And like an island song, our love will last as long
As there are islands in the sea
Finally love came to me

Finally you came along
Like love from an island song
And I held your hand soft as a dove
As we wished on stars above
Finally you came to me

So Fortunate (Larry W. Jones 02/14/2003) (song#1057)

I feel so fortunate to be
On your island in the sea
Lovely, lovely you
My sweet sweet island Sue

The stars are shining bright
In this tropic magic night
The moon in southern skies
Is shining just as bright
But none are ever like
The sparkle in your polynesian eyes

I feel so fortunate to be
With you here close to me
Just holding hands at times like this

I feel so fortunate to be
On your island in the sea
Lovely, lovely you
My sweet sweet island Sue

Someday on the island soon
We will sing a different tune
It will be those Maui chimes
When I am yours and you are mine

I feel so fortunate to be
On your island in the sea
Lovely, lovely you
My sweet sweet island Sue

Sweet Chimes Of Maui (Larry W. Jones 02/14/2003) (song#1058)

The sweet chimes of Maui
Aloha they are ringing
Bringing love, true love to be
From Maui in the blue sea

And so, sweet Leilani
With love like rare honey
The sweet chimes of Maui are ringing
For you and for me

When the sweet chimes of Maui
Calls at ebb tide
The times will be merry
With you at my side

And in the green valleys of Maui
The sound from the sea
Will be for love the chimes are calling
Your sweet love to me

The sweet chimes of Maui
Aloha they are ringing
Bringing love, true love to be
From Maui in the blue sea

And in the green valleys of Maui
The sound from the sea
Will be for love the chimes are calling
Your sweet love to me

The Finest Hour (Larry W. Jones 02/14/2003) (song#1059)

The finest hour is here and now
Like the fragrance of an island tuberose
The finest hour is here and now
Tomorrow may come but who really knows

So grip your dreams real tight
Love will rescue you somehow
Don’t try to think of things that might
The finest hour is here and now

Here and now, don’t cry over yesterday
Love might not be here tomorrow, might not stay

So grip your dreams real tight
Love will rescue you somehow
Don’t try to think of things that might
The finest hour is here and now

The finest hour is here and now
Like the fragrance of an island tuberose
The finest hour is here and now
Tomorrow may come but who really knows
The finest hour is like a fragrant island tuberose

I Wish You Success (Larry W. Jones 02/14/2003) (song#1060)

The greatest success that could come to you
Would be a love on an island in the sea
So I wish you the best in Hawaii blue
I wish you success in loving me

Aloha is a successful way
To say I love you to someone that you meet
So I wish you the best, I wish you’d say
I love you from you to me

Every day I have success when I
Say I love you in paradise
I’ve convinced me, myself and I
That you could successfully be mine

The greatest success that could come to you
Would be a love on an island in the sea
So I wish you the best in Hawaii blue
I wish you success in loving me
So I wish you the best in Hawaii blue
I wish you success in loving me

Sand And Blue (Larry W. Jones 02/15/2003) (song#1061)

Sand is more than just a beach when you’re in love
But love is out of reach if you’re not the one she’s thinking of
Sand can be as smooth as in an hour glass
But if she can’t soothe your heart, then love won’t last

Blue can be the color of the sky in paradise
But blue can be the caller when your heart must pay the price
My heart is just that color in Hawaii blue
Since my dreams drifted away with you

Sand is warm and soft and it stretches for a mile
But sand too oft just fetches love that only lasts awhile
Our love was warm but then it turned out blue
Now I’m not your island man in Hawaii blue

Sand and blue don’t go together cause they’re not the same
Sand is warm but blue is cold and not a burning flame
I’m in love with you but I’m in this sand and blue
What I need is just your love in this sand and you

Beyond The Isle (Larry W. Jones 02/16/2003) (song#1062)

Where Aloha rings
Gently did you bring
The dreams that drifted on the air
Through those island days of summer
Love beat like an island drummer
Without a care

Beyond the isle
Like gold the sun would smile
Upon our love forever

Beyond the isle
Aloha will be a gift forever
Love will leave us never
Aloha will forever on us smile
Beyond the isle

When time has flown away
We will remember island days
Where Aloha rings
Where love still sings
Beyond the isle

Warm Isles Calling To Me (Larry W. Jones 02/16/2003) (song#1063)

Warm isles, calling to me
Those Hawaiian warm isles I’m going to see
I’ll be singing those kiho’alu slack key songs
On those warm isles calling me home

I know the sun is shining there real bright
I know that tropic moon still shines at night
Lazy days will be so nice
I’ll be with my island love in paradise

Warm isles, calling to me
Those Hawaiian warm isles I’m going to see

Warm isles, calling to me
Those Hawaiian warm isles I’m going to see
I’ll be singing those kiho’alu slack key songs
On those warm isles calling me home

I know the sun is shining there real bright
I know that tropic moon still shines at night
Lazy days will be so nice
I’ll be with my island love in paradise

Warm isles, calling to me
Those Hawaiian warm isles I’m going to see

And Love Is You (Larry W. Jones (02/16/2003) (song#1064)

Love can be peculiar, melancholy sad
It can’t be silent, if love is glad
It can be a lonely island in the stream
And love can be a beautiful dream

Beautiful as a passing glance
Beautiful if you just take a chance
And if you tripped and suddenly fell in love
My heart would skip if it’s me you’re thinking of

Love is an island where dolphins play
An island of love is when you say
That you’ll be mine come what may
Love is beautiful when it wears a flower lei

Love can be peculiar, melancholy sad
It can’t be silent, if love is glad
It can be a lonely island in the stream
And love can be a beautiful dream

Beautiful as a passing glance
Beautiful if you just take a chance
And if you tripped and suddenly fell in love
My heart would skip if it’s me you’re thinking of

Love is beautiful when it wears a flower lei
And love is you any island day

Haole Hawaiian Style (Larry W. Jones 02/16/2003) (song#1065)

Would you like to be a person living on the isle
Strolling down the beach in tropical style
And singing island songs that make you smile
Or would you rather be a hapa haole paniolo cowboy

A hapa haole is a foreigner who thinks he’s Hawaiian
But he ain’t
A paniolo is a cowboy in Hawaii who rides a horse
Without complaint
A happy hapa haole paniolo Hawaiian cowboy
Is just for show
So if you want to be a Hawaiian cowboy Joe
You have to be a real paniolo

Or would you rather be a kalua luau pig

A kalua pig is a swine of the island kind
His nose is covered with dirt when he dines
And he doesn’t care if he’s not refined
He doesn’t know about the pit they dig
If he did he would squeal and zag and zig
I don’t think you want to be a kalua luau pig

Or would you rather be a humuhumunukunukuapuaa

That’s a little trigger fish that lives by the reef
His snout looks like a pig in comic relief
He swims around the outer reef like all the other fish
And he doesn’t make a very appetizing dish
If you were a humuhumunukunukuapuaa fish
You could swim around the outer reef if you wish

There’s funny people in the Honolulu zoo
They act like animals when they’re not there too
They’re tourists from the mainland who stay awhile
They love to trash the beach and do it in style

I would like to be a person living on the isle
Strolling down the beach in tropical style
And singing island songs that make me smile
In happy hapa haole Hawaiian style
Singing island songs that make me smile
In happy hapa haole Hawaiian style

Birth Of Kiho’alu (Larry W. Jones 02/21/2003) (song#1066)

Well, there were islands basking in the sun
Way out in the peaceful ocean blue
They wanted some new musical fun
So, they invented slack key guitar kiho’alu

They swayed with the palms to and fro
To the guitar of the Mexican cowboy paniolo
They loosened the strings a notch or two
And called it Hawaiian slack key kiho’alu

In the trees was the soft tradewind breeze
With island songs and sweet melodies
So they played love songs with the tunes
And called it slack key guitar kiho’alu

Over there where birds of paradise fly
On islands in the peaceful ocean blue
There’s music for love in ample supply
It’s called Hawaiian slack key guitar kiho’alu

Out where paniolos strummed their guitars
Under the moon and bright tropical stars
There are islands waiting just for you
With the music of love called kiho’alu

They swayed with the palms to and fro
To the guitar of the Mexican cowboy paniolo
They loosened the strings a notch or two
And called it Hawaiian slack key kiho’alu

Out where paniolos strummed their guitars
Under the moon and bright tropical stars
There are islands waiting just for you
With the music of love called kiho’alu

Moonlight Of Blue (Larry W. Jones 02/23/2003) (song#1067)

Lost in the stream, I’ve rambled and roamed
Far from the islands, confused and alone
My heart now is weary, I’m no longer a man
Since I left islands cheery, there in tropic sand

Where am I going in this disarray
No tradewinds are flowing or blowing my way
Oh, I know I should go back to isles of paradise
So why am I still here just paying the price

Moonlight of blue
The mainland mirrors your hue
Black as night in its darkness
You must be making me pay my dues

Moonlight of blue
Your beams of light are like dreams never there
Moonlight of blue, you’ve got me playing solitaire
Why do you bring
Moonbeams of blue, to break the heart of a man
Just an illusion of love left behind in island sand

When will it change
Or will your color extend to fill the daytime too
Now that island love has been exchanged
For moonlight of blue

An Isle For Two Isle (Larry W. Jones 02/26/2003) (song#1068)

We’ll find a paradise isle
A warm isle, an isle for two isle
Where every day’s a new day
Cause love has come our way

It won’t need to be a tourist spot
We don’t need a mega yacht
Just somewhere that time forgot
So we’ll have time for love

We’ll make sure that love survives
On a paradise isle where it thrives
Just put it on automatic drive
And let the time go slowly by

Just bring your wedding dress
To make curtains for our cottage nest
Down by the turquoise bay
Where ukuleles and island guitars play

We’ll find a paradise isle
A warm isle, an isle for two isle
We don’t need a mega yacht
Just somewhere that time forgot
So we’ll have time for love

My Mind Body And Soul (Larry W. Jones 02/26/2003) (song#1069)

Tradewinds blow sad and lonely
While my heart sighs for you only
Memories of you are in control
Of my mind, my body and my soul

These island days seem so long now
Where did love go so wrong somehow
Memories of you have gone and stole
My mind, my body and my soul

I can’t accept it. just did not expect it
That you would walk away from this dance
The moon still shines brightly, I’m crying nightly
Over losing you and this romance

Island days now pass so slowly
While my heart, alas, is lowly
Memories of you still stroll
Through my mind, my body and my soul

Song With The Breeze (Larry W. Jones 02/26/2003) (song#1070)

I’m just easing along, singing a song with the breeze
Strolling the land on an island of sand in the seas
Where birds of paradise fly, in blue island skies
Drinking wine with my cheese, myself and me

The sky is bright blue, don’t need no shoes
My little cottage is all that I need
It’s down by the bay, that’s where I play
Singing a song with the breeze

I’m just easing along, singing a song with the breeze
Strolling the land on an island of sand in the seas

The sky is bright blue, don’t need no shoes
My little cottage is all that I need
It’s down by the bay, that’s where I play
Singing a song with the breeze

Dreams To Hold (Larry W. Jones 02/26/2003) (song#1071)

If an isle in the stream were not just a dream
I would hold it like a moonbeam
And bring it to you to hold

We would stroll in the sand, with your hand in my hand
And watch our love grow as time slowly passed by

The lovely bay where we play as we please
Island guitars playing love’s lullabys
Warm tradewinds of the tropical breeze
You and I on an isle of paradise

All the isles in the stream would turn into true dreams
And I would bring you the dreams to hold

The lovely bay where we play as we please
Island guitars playing love’s lullabys
Warm tradewinds of the tropical breeze
You and I on an isle of paradise

I’m Livin’ On Island Time (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2003) (song#1072)

I’m livin’ on island time
Ain’t no corporate stairs to climb
I stroll on the sand
I’m an island man
Just livin’ on island time

I’m the live and let live kind
It gives me peace of mind
I don’t wear any shoes
I’ve got paradise views
Just livin’ on island time

And if hurricane gales
Start comin’ my way
I paddle my canoe to an island that’s new
And drop my anchor
In a new island bay

I’ll take lots of time
I’m still in my prime
On this island in the blue seas
The wind is just a tropical breeze
Just livin’ on island time

I’m the live and let live kind
It gives me peace of mind
I don’t wear any shoes
I’ve got paradise views
Just livin’ on island time

I don’t wear any shoes
I’ve got paradise views
Just livin’ on island time

Aloha Tower Lei (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2003) (song#1073)

Aloha Leilani
You bring the sun at the start of day
Aloha Leilani
I like the way you wear your Aloha tower lei

Her little shop at Aloha tower
Is the reason why I stroll by
Just to buy another lei flower
And see her smile so sweet and shy

When work is done this afternoon
I’ll be strolling by her place the same
Maybe soon in the month of June
Her smiling face will wear my name

Aloha Leilani
You bring the sun at the start of day
Aloha Leilani
I like the way you wear your Aloha tower lei

When work is done this afternoon
I’ll be strolling by her place the same
Maybe soon in the month of June
Her smiling face will wear my name

Dream In Island Sand (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2003) (song#1074)

Dreams aren’t made of money
And for that I’m glad
Dreams are made of islands sunny
And there are many dreams I’ve had

Dreams are made for sweet romance
And if you dance at all
I’ve been dreamin’ of taking a chance
To love you most of all

Catching dreams are elusive, as they say
Falling in love can be a game to play
You can lose your heart, but who can say
That dreams aren’t beautiful

So I’m sittin’ here dreaming
About being your island man
It’s for your love that I’m scheming
Cause you’re my dream in island sand

Drift Like A Dream (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2003) (song#1075)

Oh it’s not nice to awake a dream
So I’ll just wish upon a star
I’ll let you be my island theme
And I’ll call you back if you drift afar

Island dream, drift for awhile
But don’t go out to sea
Island dream, once in a while
Drift like a dream back here to me

The tradewinds have brought you here to me
You’re the reason why my heart sings
But you’ve been drifting it’s plain to see
And I’m afraid my dreams have sprouted wings

Island dream, drift for awhile
But don’t go out to sea
Island dream, once in a while
Drift like a dream back here to me

Oh it’s not nice to awake a dream
So I’ll say Aloha as you drift away
But before you pass up a wedding ring
Drift back to my isle without delay

Island dream, drift for awhile
But don’t go out to sea
Island dream, once in a while
Drift like a dream back here to me

Aloha Polynesian Girl (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2003) (song#1076)

Aloha means hello but it also means goodbye
So Aloha polynesian girl before I cry
I want an island love that’s sure to please
Not the kind that’s goes with the tradewind breeze
So Aloha polynesian girl before I cry

You seem to be just like the setting sun
You faded away and now you’re on the run
I’ll bet that when the stars come out
You’ll be wishing for love without a doubt
So Aloha polynesian girl before I cry

I’m gonna sail the next ship from old Lahaina town
I’ll be on Oahu before the sun goes down
Might even catch the Lurline to Frisco town
I’ll have to say Aloha to paradise
So Aloha polynesian girl before I cry

You seem to be just like the setting sun
You faded away and now you’re on the run
I’m gonna sail the next ship from old Lahaina town
I’ll be on Oahu before the sun goes down
Might even catch the Lurline to Frisco town

I’ll have to say Aloha to paradise
So Aloha polynesian girl before I cry
So Aloha polynesian girl before I cry

Incidentally (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2003) (song#1077)

Incidentally
You were in my dreams last night
I closed my eyes and then I saw you there
Incidentally
It came as no surprise
That we were stranded on an island somewhere

We danced into the star filled night
Everything just seemed so right, incidentally
I asked if I could be your man
And we strolled forever in the island sand

Where did I get that wedding ring
Will that dream about me and you come true
Will I hear you say the same sweet thing
Or will I have to dream to hear you say I do

We danced into the star filled night
Everything just seemed so right, incidentally
I asked if I could be your man
And we strolled forever in the island sand

Where did I get that wedding ring
Will that dream about me and you come true
Will I hear you say the same sweet thing
Or will I have to dream to hear you say I do
Incidentally, I’m so in love with you

My Dream Of You (Larry W. Jones 02/27/2003) (song#1078)

Dreamers never say that only fools run to love
Cause I’m not a fool when it’s you I’m dreaming of
I’ll stay here forever until our love begins
Cause falling in love with you could never be a sin

Like an island in the stream of time
Slowly love will flow
And then I’ll make you mine

Be my dream, and say to me, I do
So that my dream of you may be a dream come true

Like an island in the stream of time
Slowly love will flow
And then I’ll make you mine

Be my dream, and say to me, I do
So that my dream of you may be a dream come true
So that my dream of you may be a dream come true
So that my dream of you may be a dream come true

Tropical Yellow Moon (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2003) (song#1079)

The tropical moon was yellow over Honolulu
That night we said Aloha for goodbye
Now that I’ve sailed away from Honolulu
Somebody tell the moon before I cry

Oh, tropical yellow moon keep beaming
Beam over Honolulu just for me
Tropical yellow moon, I’m dreaming
Dreaming of the girl who waits for me

Someone tell that moon that maybe
If he will shine a yellow beam or two
Over Honolulu for my baby
Then she won’t be like me, so blue

Tell her that I’m coming home to Honolulu
Oh, tropical yellow moon

Someone tell that moon that maybe
If he will shine a yellow beam or two
Over Honolulu for my baby
Then she won’t be like me, so blue

An Island Is A Dream (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2003) (song#1080)

An island is a dream
A land mass in the ocean
An island in the stream
Of love and deep devotion

With mountains high and valleys low
And birds of paradise
And sand that’s warm against your toes
And love, your heart to entice

An island is a dream
And as the years go by
Love is still its theme
Your part of paradise

An island is a dream
A land mass in the ocean
An island in the stream
Of love and deep devotion

An island is a dream
And as the years go by
Love is still its theme
Your part of paradise

Just Like My Broken Heart (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2003) (song#1081)

I still have love, my dear, for you
Even though it’s just a dream
My life is now alone and blue
Like an island in the stream
I still remember dreams that passed
When love was warm as at the start
But now I see through broken glass
Just like my broken heart

Back on the isle, another love
Made our paradise turn blue
But still it’s you I’m thinking of
In dreams that won’t come true

Time runs on and dreams still pass
Like island sand in an hour glass
And waves on the reef still break apart
Just like my broken heart

Times back then were times that when
Your love was just for me
But time has been alone within
My heart and memory
As much as I have dreamed of you
I’m still back at the start
And dreams still break apart, it’s true
Just like my broken heart

Colors Of A Paradise (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2003) (song#1082)

The colors of a paradise are beautiful I’m told
The tourquoise bays and evening skies of fiery gold
The grandeur of a tropic moon, a tiki torch in flame
And a rainbow over Oahu is in the hall of fame

No brown grass that cries for rain, no dreary days
Green palms that sway to the breeze, red flower leis
In this world of dark and gloom, there’s a silver line
It’s an island they call paradise, an island I call mine

The colors of a paradise are beautiful I’m told
The tourquoise bays and evening skies of fiery gold
No brown grass that cries for rain, no dreary days
Green palms that sway to the breeze, red flower leis

In this world of dark and gloom, there’s a silver line
It’s an island they call paradise, an island I call mine
In this world of dark and gloom, there’s a silver line
It’s an island they call paradise, an island I call mine

Come Anything (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2003) (song#1083)

My love for you is one that I will keep
In the night time or in the day
Warm as an island anchored in the ocean deep
Come anything or come what may

When I met you my heart began to sing
It was one of those unexpected things
But I expect that as the years go by
You will be my only love in paradise

Your love for me is one that I will keep
I will never let you down or make you weep
Happy are the days until the end of time
And happy is this heart that made you mine

Hurricanes may come but then will come the sun
We can weather all life’s storms when two are one
Tomorrow I will love you as I did that unexpected day
Come anything or come what may

When I met you my heart began to sing
It was one of those unexpected things
But I expect that as the years go by
You will be my only love in paradise

Hurricanes may come but then will come the sun
We can weather all life’s storms when two are one
Tomorrow I will love you as I did that unexpected day
Come anything or come what may

Aloha Bird Of Paradise (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2003) (song#1084)

Aloha, bird of paradise
Go fly to my one and only
Aloha, bird of paradise
Tell her that I’m lonely

Oh, please bird of island love
Please let be heard from up above
That on her isle so far away
Dwell my dreams of yesterday

Aloha, bird of paradise
I’m so sad and all alone
Please, little bird of paradise
Tell her I love her with your song

Oh, please bird of island love
Please let be heard from up above
That on her isle so far away
Dwell my dreams of yesterday

Aloha, bird of paradise
I’m so sad and all alone
Please, little bird of paradise
Tell her I love her with your song
Aloha, bird of paradise
Tell her I love her with your song

Slack Key Guitar (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2003) (song#1085)

Slack key guitar is the only music for me
The island music that rings in my heart
Kiho’alu is sweet island music, you see
That my love and I danced to at the start

Slack key guitar, paradise and the sea
Kiho’alu, slack key melodies
It comes to my mind when you I think of
Slack key guitar is the music of love

Kiho’alu is an inspiration to me
No matter how far, how far I roam
Slack key guitar from isles of the sea
Will call me and my love to our island home

Slack key guitar, paradise and the sea
Kiho’alu, slack key melodies
It comes to my mind when you I think of
Slack key guitar is the music of love
Slack key guitar is the music of love

Sweet As Tuberoses (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2003) (song#1086)

The isles were sweet as tuberoses
We laughed down by the bay
Silly games were what we played
On the sand and sunny shore

Until the blue days turned to gray
Until your love was there no more
Until you walked out the door

Love is not what one supposes
It’s on the tradewind breeze
And it’s in my memories
Of you by the silver sea

When our love was true
The isles were sweet as tuberoses
Like you

Silly games were what we played
On the sand and sunny shore
Until the blue days turned to gray
Until your love was there no more

Love is not what one supposes
It’s on the tradewind breeze
And it’s in my memories
Of you by the silver sea

When our love was true
The isles were sweet as tuberoses
Like you

Yes Indeed I Do (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2003) (song#1087)

Do I desire you
Can a choir be just two
Can a fire flame be blue
Oh, yes indeed I do

Can an island love be true
Are Hawaiian skies still blue
Do I believe your love is true
Oh, yes indeed I do

You’re the polynesian girl from an island paradise
You’re the reason why my days are all so nice

Do I desire you
Can a choir be just two
Can a fire flame be blue
Oh, yes indeed I do

You’re the polynesian girl from an island paradise
You’re the reason why my days are all so nice

Can an island love be true
Are Hawaiian skies still blue
Do I believe your love is true
Oh, yes indeed I do
Darlin’, yes indeed I do

For An Island Love (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2003) (song#1088)

It takes an island made for love
In a deep blue ocean, a place of emotion, love’s potent potion
It takes an island made for love
In a deep blue ocean, for an island love that’s here to stay

It takes an island made for two
In a deep blue ocean, a place of emotion, love’s potent potion
It takes an island made for two
In a deep blue ocean, for love that was meant for me and you

It takes a lifetime of devotion
In a deep blue ocean, a place of emotion, love’s potent potion
It takes a lifetime of devotion
In a deep blue ocean, to love you eternally as I already do

It takes an island made for love
In a deep blue ocean, a place of emotion, love’s potent potion
It takes an island made for love
In a deep blue ocean, for an island love that’s here to stay
For an island love that’s here to stay

A Melody A Symphony (Larry W. Jones 02/28/2003) (song#1089)

The tradewinds sing a melody
Islands are what poets call a symphony
A song for lovers there to swoon
Beneath a big and yellow tropic moon

Once you stroll with her in the sand
Down by the bay holding hand in hand
She and you will know why birdies sing
Island birds of paradise are taking wing

Just like that girl of mine in perfect time
Time to synchronize your hearts with lullabys
Islands play songs of love soft as Maui chimes
For those who find an island love in paradise

So, listen to your heart and then you’ll see
Love in the tropics is warm as it can be
The winds of love are blowing there for you
A melody, a symphony to make your dreams come true

Lydia Liliuokalani Jones (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1090)

I told Lydia Liliuokalani
That her daughter has such charming eyes
I told Lydia Liliuokalani
That her daughter must have come from paradise

I told Lydia Liliuokalani
That her daughter was as sweet as scented myrrh
And whenever she smiled at me
That it reminded me of her

Her daughter has a way of laughing
With a way that really shows
That Lydia Liliuokalani’s daughter
Is so lovely from head to toes

I told Lydia Liliuokalani
That her daughter favors her Daddy too
Because our daughter is the offspring
Of an island love that’s true

I told Lydia Liliuokalani
That she’s my queen from tropic zones
She and her daughter have my last name
She’s Lydia Liliuokalani Jones

Pieces Of The Puzzle (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1091)

We made the pieces of the puzzle fit
I’m your guy and you’re my girl
We made vows that to love commit
Now you’re my bride, my island pearl

The islands held the answer
Right here in island sand
Aloha and a hula dancer
Now you’re mine and I’m your man

We met when our hearts were right in tune
Like dancing with the moon
Beams of love came shining through
Right here in Hawaii blue

The islands held the answer
Right here in island sand
Aloha and a hula dancer
Now you’re mine and I’m your man

We met when our hearts were right in tune
Like dancing with the moon
Beams of love came shining through
Right here in Hawaii blue

A Memory And Dream (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1092)

Yes, I remember you
Back on the island in the stream
Do you remember me
Am I still in your dream

I can’t forget the day
You gave me your flower lei
Have you forgotten how
We once made those island vows

I’ve sailed my ship without you
Even when the weather wasn’t fine
I wrote some letters to you
Hoping that you’d still be mine

I don’t understand just why
Aloha didn’t mean hello, it meant goodbye
Islands were meant for lasting love
So it’s still you I’m thinking of
Even though your island in the stream
Is now just a memory and dream

I’ve sailed my ship without you
Even when the weather wasn’t fine
I don’t understand just why
Aloha didn’t mean hello, it meant goodbye

Islands were meant for lasting love
So it’s still you I’m thinking of
Even though your island in the stream
Is now just a memory and dream

Polynesian Piggy (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1093)

Tradewinds whisper love songs in the air
But my polynesian baby
Doesn’t seem to really care
She just says that maybe
I’ll sing my songs elsewhere
I’ve gotta find someone who really cares
About love songs in the tradewind air

So, I’ll sing Aloha to my polynesian piggy
She squeals with delight and runs zaggy ziggy
She smells love on the tradewinds with her snout
And when I sing to her she doesn’t even pout
She’s a little polynesian porky piggy
But she don’t mind being biggy

I sing about her ears that’s big and flappy
She’s a polynesian island pig that’s really happy
My polynesian baby
Must think that I’m a little crazy
But I think that just maybe
I’m just a little bitty hazy

She’s not a luau pig, she’s just a polynesian swine
But she likes the way I sing to her just fine
My polynesian baby didn’t say Mahalo nui loa
When I sang her songs on a guitar made of koa
So now my polynesian pig and I see eye to eye
When I sing to my polynesian piggy songs in paradise

Now I Must Return (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1094)

Well I let the stars get in my eyes
And I let the tropic moon break my heart
I found a love that bloomed at night
But in the morning light it died
Yes I let the stars get in my eyes
But she kept her heart from me
And now I must return
To let her know that in my heart her love still burns

Lonely island nights
Lonely island stars
Could another tropic moon change your mind
Don’t forget that you’re still mine
Don’t stay away too long
On this isle’s where you belong
Under tropic stars and yellow moons that shine

Lonely island moon
Lonely month of June
Too many days since she’s been gone
Please don’t give your heart to someone else too soon
Don’t let me cry here in the moonlight all alone

On My Isle Of Dreams (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1095)

I know an isle of dreams that only sweethearts know
To that isle of dreams only those in love may go
It’s more than just an island in the stream
So please stroll with me on my isle of dreams

Tropic stars are shining in a velvet sky
The moon is shining there in paradise
Aloha is the way to say I love you
So come with me cause you’re the one that I adore

I know an isle of dreams that only sweethearts know
To that isle of dreams only those in love may go
It’s more than just an island in the stream
So please stroll with me on my isle of dreams

Come my love and stroll with me
On my isle of dreams

Ticket To The Stars (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1096)

Let me buy you a ticket to the stars where we can dream
It’s not as hard to do as it may seem
We’ll watch the world spin round when we’re in the sky
And when we kiss I know the man in the moon will sigh

On an island made for love, sweet guitar music fills the night
The man in the moon will smile when he sees that all is right
If we catch a shooting star, paradise won’t be very far
Let me buy you a ticket to the stars where we can dream

The man in the moon will smile
When he sees that all is right
If we catch a shooting star, paradise won’t be very far
Let me buy you a ticket to the stars where we can dream

Sweet Hula Dancer (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1097)

Dance on sweet hula dancer, dance on
Dance on sweet hula dancer, dance on
Your arms are there to tantalize, I think that I’m in paradise
Dance on sweet hula dancer, dance on

Dance on sweet hula dancer, dance on
Dance on sweet hula dancer, dance on
Aloha is the way you say, I love you this very day
Dance on sweet hula dancer, dance on

If I could dance real close to you
I could tell you what I want to do
I just want to fall in love with you
I see love there in your polynesian eyes

Dance on sweet hula dancer, dance on
Dance on sweet hula dancer, dance on
Dance with me and then you’ll find, love is gonna make you mine
Dance on sweet hula dancer, dance on

Sweet hula dancer, dance on

Starlight Dreams And Moonlight Memories (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1098)

Starlight dreams and moonlight memories
Of you and love and tropic island shores
Lonely are my memories, thoughts that just keep haunting me
About that island girl whom I adore

Starlight dreams and moonlight memories
Live within my mind and in my heart
Sad remembering of happy days, just her and me
Of the love we had there at the start

My arms still try to hold her tight
Her lips I still kiss every night
But it’s just a starlight dream and moonlight memory
A love that just won’t set me free

Starlight dreams and moonlight memories
The yellow moon shined on her long dark hair
Starlight dreams and moonlight memories
Oh, bring her love back is my lonely prayer

Starlight dreams and moonlight memories of her
I can’t go on without her love for me
Please come back so that these dreams won’t reoccur
These starlight dreams and moonlight memories
Starlight dreams and moonlight memories

Just For You And Me (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1099)

Let’s apply the tropic sky
Just for you and me
On an island that is paradise
Just for you and me

Let’s listen to the sigh
As tradewinds whisper by
Just for you and me
Just for you and me

Just take my hand
And stroll with me
Through island sand
Down by the sea

Let’s tune our hearts with a song
From a guitar or ukulele
Island love just can’t be wrong
Just for you and me

Songs of love are everywhere
In the breeze for us to share
Just for you and me
Just for you and me
Just for you and me

Eleven Hundred (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1100)

If you ever ask me how long for you my love will be
Eleven hundred lifetimes, then we would wait and see
If I could do it over, not a thing would I ever change
I could sing you island songs of love that I’ve arranged

If you ever ask me how deep for you my love will be
I can only tell you that my love is deeper than the sea
Eleven hundred fathoms down lives cousin Davy Jones
Says I’ve got more songs to write about these tropic zones

Eleven hundred miles an hour, to get me to my love
Eleven hundred ways to tell you, it’s you I’m thinking of
Eleven hundred songs and counting, up to number one
You’re my island sweetheart, our love has just begun
Eleven hundred songs and counting, up to number one
You’re my island sweetheart, our love has just begun

Kahealani Pua Lani (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1101)

Kehealani Pua Lani
On an island way out in the sea
Kehealani Pua Lani
I know she’s there on the shore
Where she waits for me
Kehealani Pua Lani

In old Lahaina town
Where tradewinds whisper low
When the sun is going down
She’s waiting there I know
Soon I will sail back that way
To her island in the sea
To where my Kehealani Pua Lani
Waits for me

Kehealani Pua Lani
On an island way out in the sea
Kehealani Pua Lani
I know she’s there on the shore
Where she waits for me
Kehealani Pua Lani

Soon I will sail back that way
To her island in the sea
To where my Kehealani Pua Lani
Waits for me

Islands And Oceans (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1102)

Islands and oceans, with polynesian names
Over horizons in the sea
Those islands and oceans, skies painted in flames
Are calling me home, you see

Well I’ve been to London
And I’ve been to Rome
But those are just cities that I can’t call home
No tradewinds blow there, it’s just not the same
I need some islands and oceans of blue
Islands and oceans, with polynesian names

I’ve been to Texas
And I’ve met good old boys
But they’re not the same as
Hawaiian coyboys

You can call me a dreamer, and that I sure am
But I’ve been to Alaska
Been to Siam
They don’t say Aloha, it’s just not the same
Goin’ back to the isles from which I came
Islands and oceans, with polynesian names

Goin’ back to the isles from which I came
Islands and oceans, with polynesian names

Another Day (Larry W. Jones 03/01/2003) (song#1103)

Another day
Who knows about another day
You’re here in my arms, and any way
Who knows about another day

The moon is shining bright
So let’s swoon beneath its light
Another day might not be right
Who knows about another day

Look at that trpoic moon
Shining on a silver sea
I think tonight is not too soon
For you to fall in love with me

I get this feeling when we’re strolling
My heart is reeling and my mind is rolling
So let’s share the moment, come what may
Who knows about another day

Let’s use the moon and all the stars
Let our hearts sing like soft guitars
Another chance may never come our way
Who knows about another day

If I Could Only (Larry W. Jones 03/02/2003) (song#1004)

I would buy you a rainbow from the blue
If you would only say I do, I do
I would dive for pearls out in the bay
If I could only hear you say, I do

Deep in Moana valley, over there
I would gather flower leis for your hair
I would try everything possible, it’s true
If I could only hear you say, I do

I would buy you a rainbow from the blue
I would dive for pearls out in the bay
I would do anything for you
If I could only hear you say, I do

Deep in Moana valley, over there
I would gather flower leis for your hair
I would try everything possible, it’s true
If I could only hear you say, I do

Eatin’ Island Poi (Larry W. Jones 03/02/2003) (song#1105)

The sweetest island girl for this here island boy
Is that sweetest island girl eatin’ island poi
The sweetest island girl for this here island boy
Is that sweetest island girl eatin’ island poi

I asked her for a date
She said I better not be late
I took her to a luau and to my joy
She said all she wanted was some more island poi

I asked if I could help her
Finish off her poi
She smiled and said it’s finger lickin’
Finger lickin’ poi

She had the sweetest fingers I ever did enjoy
She said she liked the fingers of this here island boy
It was finger lickin’ good, all that island poi
She’s the sweetest island girl eatin’ island poi

The big kahuna saw us eatin’ all that island poi
Now I’m luna moona and she’s my island joy
We built a bigger cottage for all our island boys
They call us mama, papa when they’re eatin’ island poi

The moral of this mele, if you want a life of joy
Find you the sweetest island girl eatin’ island poi

Sleep Gently Fair Island (Larry W. Jones 03/02/2003) (song#1106)

Sleep gently, fair island, out in the sea
Sleep gently, and I’ll sing a song for my Leilani
My Lelani’s sleeping by your peaceful shore
Sleep gently, fair island, for it’s her I adore

How majestic, fair island, your mountains and skies
There she is home in your paradise
Memories are wandering through my mind’s eye
Of my sweet Leilani sleeping tonight

How peaceful your bays and skies of bright blue
Sleep gently, fair island, I’m coming to you
There often, as twilight comes over the sea
I strolled with my darling, sweet Leilani

Sleep gently, fair island, out in the sea
Sleep gently, and I’ll sing a song for my Leilani
My Lelani’s sleeping by your peaceful shore
Sleep gently, fair island, for it’s her I adore

Like A Sweet Tuberose (Larry W. Jones 03/02/2003) (song#1107)

Faded rose from lands far to the east
Faded love from one who loved me least
Where she went, nobody knows
Sweet tuberose from islands in the sea
Tell the love I know is there for me
Love is like a sweet tuberose

It’s only a tuberose that I give you
And I know a rose will fade away
But it stands for something precious
My love for you until my dyin’ day

Only a tuberose to tell you
Love is sweet when it is new
But it stands for something precious
For your love only a sweet tuberose will do

Hopeful Dreams (Larry W. Jones 03/06/2003) (song#1108)

Hopeful dreams on an island made for love
An island made for loving you
Money have I none but I’m dreaming of
Loving on an island with you

Hopeful dreams and a heart that’s kinda shy
But as big as the tropic moon above
Please say Aloha to this heart of mine
With hopeful dreams on an island made for love

You can’t find love if you don’t know love
Deep in your heart when love’s around
On this island it’s you I’m dreaming of
In a cottage by the bay in a wedding gown

Hopeful dreams and a heart that’s kinda shy
But as big as the tropic moon above
Please say Aloha to this heart of mine
With hopeful dreams on an island made for love
Please say Aloha to this heart of mine
With hopeful dreams on an island made for love

Just For Island Love (Larry W. Jones 03/06/2003) (song#1109)

We can discover happiness that was made
Just for island love
Dreams of strolling with an island maid
Just for island love

We can discover why the moon so shines
Just for island love
Just for island love
Just for island love

Let me hold your hand softly
And stroll with me
We can fall in love slowly
You and me

We can discover why a heart’s in bliss
Just for island love
For moonlight strolls sealed with a kiss
Just for island love

The stars are out this magic night
And it’s you I’m thinking of
We can discover why the moon is bright
Just for island love
Just for island love

Searching For A Rainbow (Larry W. Jones 03/06/2003) (song#1110)

Everyone is searching for an island
And most never find their way
So you’re welcome to just drift my way

Everyone is searching for a rainbow
But keep in mind
My rainbow isn’t hard to find

Well, you can think it through
On an island in the sea
You can make yor dreams come true
Here on my isle with me

We can always be together
Come the sun or stormy weather
On this island in the sand

The joy that love is bringing
For you and me it’s singing
Let me be your island man

Everyone is searching for a rainbow
But keep in mind
My rainbow isn’t hard to find

Well, you can think it through
On an island in the sea
You can make yor dreams come true
Here on my isle with me

I Guess Love Is Blind (Larry W. Jones 03/06/2003) (song#1111)

Everyone is smiling at you
But you don’t hear what my heart is saying
I guess love is blind
Tradewinds softly whisper
Love songs from tropic places
Islands of love in paradise

But you just keep on strolling
Past my heart again
Dreams going where nobody knows
Island in the tradewinds
Dreams on a tropic breeze
Dreams going where nobody knows

Everyone is smiling at you
But you don’t hear what my heart is saying
I guess love is blind
Everyone is smiling at you
But you don’t hear what my heart is saying
I guess love is blind

Love Like This (Larry W. Jones 03/06/2003) (song#1112)

Whenever I encounter you, it’s a brand new rendezvous
Like when we first met down by the shore
Whenever I hold you close, you’re a brand new island rose
You’re the one my heart is longing for

Your kiss is intoxicating, my heart is assimilating
Love like when we first met, but now it’s more
Whenever I meet you, my heart says Aloha to greet you
Love like this I’ve never know before

If you should ever leave, my heart would forever grieve
But I could never ask for one thing more
So don’t ever leave me, say goodbye or deceive me
For you’re the only girl that I adore

Your kiss is intoxicating, my heart is assimilating
Love like when we first met, but now it’s more
Whenever I meet you, my heart says Aloha to greet you
Love like this I’ve never know before
Whenever I meet you, my heart says Aloha to greet you
Love like this I’ve never know before

Moonstruck Over You (Larry W. Jones 03/07/2003) (song#1113)

Moonstruck, I might be moonstruck
But I can take the derision, I’ve made my decision
If I’m moonstruck, it’s just my luck
To find my heart in love with such a heavenly you

Some act careful and sensible
But they don’t see love when it’s there
They never have flown to paradise
To know that love’s in the air
If I’m moonstruck, and my skies are all blue
It’s because I’m sruck with my heart loving you
I’m just moonstruck over you

Now And Evermore (Larry W. Jones 03/07/2003) (song#1114)

Come stroll the sand with your hand in mine
Starting now and evermore
Love can be grand by heaven’s design
Starting now and evermore
The mainland is a fast paced game
Sometimes I think it’s insane
That why this island love can be
Here now and evermore

They say all good things must end
And that nothing lasts for evermore
But they could never begin
To know the love we’ll explore
So, sweetheart, stroll the sand with your hand in mine
And we’ll see love by heaven’s design
Starting now and evermore

So, sweetheart, stroll the sand with your hand in mine
And we’ll see love by heaven’s design
Starting now and evermore

My Dreams Of Loving You (Larry W. Jones 03/07/2003) (song#1115)

I feel so bad, being a rover
Love passed us by and time keeps on flowing
We’ve both had some time to think it over
I wonder if love could have kept on growing

Place my dreams upon the shoreline
Think of me whenever you’re feeling blue
Feel the gentle tradewinds blowing softly on the island
And try to make my dreams come true
My dreams of loving you

Time flows along, one day then another
And I know that you will one day find a new love
I feel so bad, since our love, time has smothered
But it’s only you on my mind I’m thinking of

Place my dreams upon the shoreline
Think of me whenever you’re feeling blue
Feel the gentle tradewinds blowing softly on the island
And try to make my dreams come true
My dreams of loving you
My dreams of loving you

Lani (Larry W. Jones 03/07/2003) (song#1116)

Lani, you make me lose all sense of time
You grew up before my very eyes
It’s time to see if you’d be mine
Here in this paradise

Lani, I didn’t know that you would grow so soon
From that island girl I knew
Into a dream kissed by the moon
Lani, is it really you

Lani, you make the birds of paradise sing
You have the freshness of the spring
I used to see you distantly, but now
You’re everything that heaven could allow

Like fragrant perfume in the air
The flower blossom in your hair
Reminds me of an island tune
Of stars in velvet skies and love in bloom

Lani, I didn’t know that you would grow so soon
From that island girl I knew
Into a dream kissed by the moon
Lani, is it really you

Searching For You (Larry W. Jones 03/07/2003) (song#1117)

I have sailed the seven seas
Felt the balmy tradewind breeze
Searching for you
Searching for you

Upon my knees I have crawled
A message on the wind I have scrawled
Searching for you
But where your love is to be found
I have no clue
Where your love is to be found
I haven’t got a clue

Polynesian hearts I have held
Fragrant flower leis I have smelled
I have felt Pele’s fire
Island love and warm desire
I have held soft hands in mine
Known the touch of love divine
It was warm beneath the moon
But love would slip away too soon
And where your love is to be found
I have no clue
Where your love is to be found
I haven’t got a clue

I have sailed the seven seas
Felt the balmy tradewind breeze
Searching for you
Searching for you
And where your love is to be found
I have no clue
Where your love is to be found
I haven’t got a clue

Keep Us Going Strong (Larry W. Jones 03/07/2003) (song#1118)

Tomorrow might not be the same
But today I feel so much alive
Life and love is not a game
And I know that our love will survive

The sea is wide
There are storms on every side
But we will find our island in the stream

Love will keep us going strong
Where rainbows shine in clear blue skies
Love will keep us going strong
Where tradewind breezes softly blow
We will find our island love, I know

Some think love is fantasy
That love is just a waste of time
But you and I have hearts that see
Love has a sweeter taste on island time

The sea is wide
There are storms on every side
But we will find our island in the stream

Love will keep us going strong
Where rainbows shine in clear blue skies
Love will keep us going strong
Where tradewind breezes softly blow
We will find our island love, I know

Throughout Eternity (Larry W. Jones 03/07/2003) (song#1119)

I felt it in my hands
I saw it in the island sands
Love is on the tradewinds
Just like an island rose

Love is on the tradewinds
It’s not there just for show, oh no
Love is on the tradewinds
And I’m in love with you, I know

You know you make my dreams come true
And I know they always will
My dreams are constantly of you
Like a beacon on a lofty hill
The tides will always flow
To shores of paradise
My love for you will always grow
Like tides that never dies

Your lips are warm and tender
It’s not just the things you said
Your love is the reason I surrendered
My life to you the day we wed
Like an island in the sea
Love will forever be
Anchored in the promises we keep
Throughout eternity

Dreams In Island Sand (Larry W. Jones 03/07/2003) (song#1120)

Here today, then gone away
Love is just a game you play
Like dreams that disappear in island sand

You could not control your selfish pride
You cast my love aside
Like dreams that disappear in island sand

Now that our dreams of love cannot come true
It only seems that island skies are really blue

But I’ll use whatever time it takes
To try to make you understand
That my heart for you still aches
For dreams that disappeared in island sand

Ku’u Ipo Lani (Larry W. Jones 03/07/2003) (song#1121)

You’re The Silver Line (Larry W. Jones 03/07/2003) (song#1122)

You’re a dream that’s come to life
A newfound love in old Lahaina town
You’re the silver line through dark and strife
Soon you’ll wear a wedding gown

Until you came my life had been
One of clouds and countless tears
Our life together now begins
It won’t end in a thousand years

You’re a dream that’s come to life
A newfound love in old Lahaina town
You’re the silver line through dark and strife
Soon you’ll wear a wedding gown

How did you know that I was all alone
I’ve found a dream from tropic zones
You are the dream that did come true
That’s why I’m so in love with you

You’re a dream that’s come to life
A newfound love in old Lahaina town
You’re the silver line through dark and strife
Soon you’ll wear a wedding gown

Paint Love Blue (Larry W. Jones 03/07/2003) (song#1123)

Paint love blue, just like the moon
I thought we could get along
Your love was untrue, and then too soon
You learned to sing a new love song

Eternity was not suppossed to have an end
I still try to understand
I know that we were more than friends
Where are those dreams that we had planned

Paint love blue, just like the moon
You found a new love song to sing

I thought love would stand the test of time
But love is like the tradewind breeze
It comes and where it goes no one can find
And sometimes it’s so hard to seize

Paint love blue, just like the moon
You found a new love song to sing
Paint love blue, just like the moon
You found a new love song to sing

I Should Have Known (Larry W. Jones 03/07/2003) (song#1124)

I should have known the train was on the track
I should have read between the lines
I should have known my heart would crack
I should have read the crystal ball in time

But then I probably would love you just the same
A fool repeats the same mistakes
Come what may is what fools say
My foolish heart might even break again
But I would love you anyway

Sometimes I think back to just how
The dreams we had and all those vows
Died just like a fallen tree
In the sand there by the sea

But then I probably would love you just the same
A fool repeats the same mistakes
Come what may is what fools say
My foolish heart might even break again
But I would love you anyway

I should have known the train was on the track
I should have read between the lines
I should have known my heart would crack
I should have read the crystal ball in time

But then I probably would love you just the same
A fool repeats the same mistakes
Come what may is what fools say
My foolish heart might even break again
But I would love you anyway

My Bird Of Paradise (Larry W. Jones 03/08/2003) (song#1125)

I came from distant lands to your island in the sea
I held your hand and looked into love’s eyes
You’re every dream that dreamers come to see
Lydialani, you’re my bird of paradise

The western sun had called me to you when it set
I never dreamed there could be someone like you before we met
I knew that such a dream would never come by twice
Lydialani, you’re my bird of paradise

Balmy winds of trade are warm and tender
They just made my heart to you surrender
The moon has a special glow tonight
The silver sea sparkles with starlight
Enchanted islands have called me here to you
Love like this is a dream come true

Lydialani, you’re my future now
I can see me in your eyes
Lydialani, you’re my bird of paradise

Say Aloha And Smile (Larry W. Jones 03/08/2003) (song#1126)

Aloha until again we meet
I love to see the way you smile
Soon again our love will be complete
Aloha will return me to our isle

Don’t cry just because the time has come
To say Aloha for a little while
Soon I’ll be returning from
Far off lands back to our isle
So, just say Aloha until again we meet
Just say Aloha, and smile

I know that as I go
That I will miss you so
So, keep me in your dreams awhile
Til I return where these tradewinds blow
And we won’t have to say goodbye
Aloha then will mean hello

Motu Taxi Driver (Larry W. Jones 03/08/2003) (song#1127)

I wanna be a motu taxi driver
In Bora Bora where the tourists go
A little boat for scuba divers
To the little motu islands I would go

Out in Bora Bora’s blue lagoon
Between the island and the reef
There are many little motu islands
My motu taxi boat would reach them soon

I wanna be a motu taxi driver
I could retire and live quite well
If I could be a motu taxi driver
On Bora Bora’s where I’d dwell

All those French and German girls
Go to those motu islands for their tans
I wanna be a motu taxi driver
And motor my little boat to motu sands

I would work for nearly nothing
That’s what they wear there anyway
If I could be a motu taxi driver
I’d drive my little boat there every day

I wanna be a motu taxi driver
I could retire and live quite well
If I could be a motu taxi driver
On Bora Bora’s where I’d dwell
If I could be a motu taxi driver
On Bora Bora’s where I’d dwell

Girl With The Hula Sway (Larry W. Jones 03/08/2003) (song#1128)

There was a girl with a lovely smile
She danced with a hula sway
There was a girl on a tropic isle
She stole my heart away
I was sailin’ ore the seas
When I anchored in a lovely bay
I knew I had to go and see
The girl with the hula sway

Well, she danced the hula with her sway
She stole my heart away
Other sailors said she looked so fine
But I knew that she’d be mine

Oh, I knew that she’d be mine
So, when I saw her glance at me
I knew I had it made
I took her hand so I could see
The girl with the hula sway
No more sailin’ ore the seas
My sailin’ days I’ll trade
For that girl who pleases me
The girl with the hula sway

No more sailin’ ore the seas
My sailin’ days I’ll trade
For that girl who pleases me
The girl with the hula sway

Always Be Mine (Larry W. Jones 03/08/2003) (song#1129)

Put your little hand in mine and fill me with cheer
We will stroll on the isle together many years
Place your precious life with mine under skies of blue
Nothing must ever end my loving you

Hold your beating heart to mine tenderly
The love we share will always be divine
A gift from above, an angel you must be
Come stroll with me and always be mine

Put your little hand in mine and fill me with cheer
We will stroll on the isle together many years
Hold your beating heart to mine tenderly
A gift from above, an angel you must be

Place your precious life with mine under skies of blue
Nothing must ever end my loving you
The love we share will always be divine
Come stroll with me and always be mine
The love we share will always be divine
Come stroll with me and always be mine

Island Luau Blues (Larry W. Jones 03/08/2003) (song#1130)

I have special memories of you and me and island life
Now that’s all I have but things will be alright
I’ll just take those memories with nothing left to lose
And I’ll give my broken heart some island luau blues

Gonna give my heart a luau party, serve precious memories
Give my heart a luau party, drink a toast to you and me
I’ll play those island love songs that we used to choose
Gonna give my heart a luau party, serve island luau blues

Some of your flower leis are still in a box or two
I still have some perfumed cards with Aloha love from you
I’ve got lots of things to sing about, sad kiho’alu
Gonna give my heart a luau party, serve island luau blues

Aloha Polynesia (Larry W. Jones 03/08/2003) (song#1131)

Aloha, Polynesia
This means goodbye, but I’ll return

Warm islands with tradewind breezes
Warm islands with hula teases
That island girl I found, my heart pleases
From across the sea

Aloha, Polynesia
This means goodbye, but I’ll return

I’ll buy some flower leis for my sweetheart
Words of love for her will I impart
When I return, no more will we part
From across the sea

Warm islands with tradewind breezes
Warm islands with hula teases
That island girl I found, my heart pleases
From across the sea

Aloha, Polynesia
This means goodbye, but I’ll return

I’ll buy some flower leis for my sweetheart
Words of love for her will I impart
When I return, no more will we part
From across the sea

Aloha, Polynesia
Girl, I’ll return to you

Danny’s Guitar (Larry W. Jones 03/08/2003) (song#1132)

Song, can you hear them from above
Those paniolo guitar songs of island love
Song and you may hear his songs again
Whispered on the soft tradewinds

Down in old Lahaina town
On Maui island sweet and low
There sang a handsome Hawaiian cowboy
A Maui man named Danny Estocado
He sang those island songs of long ago
With his guitar, island girls would swoon
But there was one that he loved so
Beneath that polynesian moon

Song, can you hear them from above
Those paniolo guitar songs of island love
Song and you may hear his songs again
Whispered on the soft tradewinds

He sang songs about their wedding day
He would finish the branding and hang his spurs
A great luau feast was planned down by the bay
There he would play favorite songs of hers
But he didn’t return from the branding
His guitar would never play those island sounds
Only the tradewind plays with understanding
The Hawaiian cowboy’s songs of love in old Lahaina town

Song, can you hear them from above
Those paniolo guitar songs of island love
Song and you may hear his songs again
Whispered on the soft tradewinds

Lonesome Rover (Larry W. Jones 03/08/2003) (song#1133)

So, I’m just a lonesome rover
And I sail the seven seas
I guess it’s just the sailor life in me
Winds of trade keep calling me
To islands in the seas
I guess it’s just the sailor life in me

I have to see what’s over new horizons
I’m just a lonesome rover of the seas

A sailor’s life is the only life, the only life for me
There’s no other life through which to wander
I guess it’s just the sailor life in me

Sailin’ with the breeze
Wind in rigging sings
Goin’ where I please
Sailin’ life is king

So, I’m just a lonesome rover
And I sail the seven seas
I guess it’s just the sailor life in me
Winds of trade keep calling me
To islands in the seas
I guess it’s just the sailor life in me

So, I’m just a lonesome rover
I guess it’s just the sailor life in me

Where Dreams Go (Larry W. Jones 03/08/2003) (song#1134)

Dreams may come and dreams may go
Where dreams go is only known above
Dreams may go where tradewinds blow
They could be dreams of island love

If you’re on an island made for two
Never break her heart, her heart in two
Don’t say Aloha if it means goodbye
To the one you love in paradise
If you break her heart, her heart in two
Your dreams may go away from you

Dreams may come and dreams may go
Where dreams go is only known above
Dreams may go where tradewinds blow
They could be dreams of island love

They could be dreams of island love
They could be dreams of island love

Dreams From The Blue (Larry W. Jones 03/09/2003) (song#1135)

There’s a dream that some day I’m gonna make come true
Of islands in the stream
I’ll plant bare feet in warm island sand
And dream a dream of you

There’s an island song that some day I’m gonna sing
Of warm tropical skies
Birds will sing along with me
Birds of paradise

Time flows along past islands in the stream
Dreams are like that too
Well, I’ve figured out the scheme of things
Dreams come from the blue
I have dreamed of many things
Now I’ll make those dreams come true

There’s an island girl somewhere in the stream
I will find her too
With polynesian flair, flowers in her hair
Dreams of her came from the blue

There’s a dream that some day I’m gonna make come true
Of islands in the stream
I’ll plant bare feet in warm island sand
And dream a dream of you

I’ll plant bare feet in warm island sand
And dream a dream of you

Aloha New Lovers (Larry W. Jones 03/09/2003) (song#1136)

Aloha, new lovers, on islands afar
Dreams are coming to you
You both can wish upon a star
Like the star I wished upon too

Aloha, new lovers, there under the moon
Time is still on your side
So, take your time and you’ll find soon
Love as sure as the tide

My love once was new
We both were young, too
We strolled in the sand in a haze
So, stroll in the sand
Soon you’ll be woman and man
And love will last all your days

Aloha, new lovers, alone there tonight
Beams of love upon you have shone
May your future be happy and bright
There in your new island home

Aloha, new lovers, on islands afar
Dreams are coming to you
You both can wish upon a star
Like the star I wished upon too

You both can wish upon a star
Like the star I wished upon too

She’s Back (Larry W. Jones 03/09/2003) (song#1137)

Tears have come and again I cry
My broken heart still believes her lies
She’s back on the island again

My heart is asking for agony
My dreams are still of old memories
She’s back on the island again

Pain comes ashore like the rushing tide
I’ve opened the door to break more inside
She’s back on the island again

She says she’ll be true, once again
I know I’ll be blue too, once again
She’s back on the island again

Pain comes ashore like the rushing tide
I’ve opened the door to break more inside
She’s back on the island again

She says she’ll be true, once again
I know I’ll be blue too, once again
She’s back on the island again

Once More (Larry W. Jones 03/09/2003) (song#1138)

I hear that island song of love once more
Calling me back to your shore
Dreams of you are knocking at my door
I hear that island song of love once more

That sweet song of island love and ecstasy
Reminds me of your voice there by the sea
You were there and then you disappeared
But that island song of love’s still here with me

Like the ebbing tide you slipped past the reef
I thought my broken heart would die from grief
I said that I would free you from my mind
But I hear that island song of love one more time

I hear that island song of love once more
Calling me back to your shore
Dreams of you are knocking at my door
I hear that island song of love once more

That sweet song of island love and ecstasy
Reminds me of your voice there by the sea
You were there and then you disappeared
But that island song of love’s still here with me

I hear that island song of love once more
Calling me back to your shore
Dreams of you are knocking at my door
I hear that island song of love once more
I hear that island song of love once more

A Jar Full Of Wishes (Larry W. Jones 03/09/2003) (song#1139)

I’m sure glad I kept that falling star
A pocket full of moonbeams and a jar…
Full of wishes for a love that’s true
I’m sure glad that I found you

I’ve been through a lot of rainy days
Been lost from love and sunny days
But when you came my skies turned blue
I’m sure glad that I found you

All my rainbows had seemed to disappear
I had no one to call me dear
But then you came and love came too
I’m sure glad that I found you

It’s funny how the weather can chill you to the bones
But sometimes weather comes from tropic zones
You’re my sunshine and my skies of blue
I’m sure glad that I found you

I’m sure glad I kept that falling star
A pocket full of moonbeams and a jar…
Full of wishes for a love that’s true
I’m sure glad that I found you
A jar full of wishes for a love that’s true
I’m sure glad that I found you

My Lovely Island Queen (Larry W. Jones 03/09/2003) (song#1140)

Here’s to my lovely island queen
A toast to love is what I mean
I mean that she’s the girl for me
All year long she’s here by me

When the winter storms hit the far north shore
Her love’s as strong as it was before
The love she gives doesn’t go unseen
She’s my lovely island queen

In the springtime when the flowers bloom
I hold my island girl underneath the moon
She’s the beauty of the tropic scene
She’s my lovely island queen

When the soft tradewinds of the summer come
My island girl is full of life and fun
We go strolling in the sand
She says she’s my girl and I’m her island man

When we grow old I’ll love her still
The vows we made will be fulfilled
From now til then and in between
She’s my lovely island queen

Waves Of Love (Larry W. Jones 03/09/2003) (song#1141)

Waves of love rolled in on a moonlit night
Your dreams and mine seemed to fit just right
I placed a flower lei of blue
Around a love that was brand new
Waves of love rolled in with you

The breakers boomed against the reef
My heart would soon be free from grief
You’re the dream I was dreaming of
Waves of love

Underneath the swaying palms that night
I held you in my arms so tight
You must have come from realms above
Waves of love

The sound of those sweet steel guitars
And songs of love under tropic stars
Fit like hand and glove
Waves of love

On this island where all dreams come true
I found a dream and it was you
You’re the very symbol of
Waves of love

Kauai Calls Again (Larry W. Jones 03/09/2003) (song#1142)

Kaua’i is a garden in the sea
Lovely Kaua’i calls again to me
There on the garden isle is where I long to be
Lovely Kaua’i, Kaua’i calls again to me

Hanalei has a bay so blue
Beams of love shine from the moon
Under Hanalei moon, Kaua’i calls
And lovers roam beside her falls

Hanaka’ape bay is by my home
From Koloa I will no more roam
Lovely Kaua’i calls again to me
Lovely Kaua’i, Kaua’i calls again to me

Just like the lessons others learned
For lovely Kaua’i my heart yearns
So, I’ll return from across the sea
Lovely Kaua’i, Kaua’i calls again to me

In A Little Seaside Cafe (Larry W. Jones 03/09/2003) (song#1143)

In a little seaside cafe
In old Lahaina town
Sweet island music began to play
When the sun went down

That’s where I met her that day
A dream had floated down
In a little seaside cafe
In old Lahaina town

Sweet guitars played love songs
All was right and nothing wrong
We fell in love in that little seaside cafe
In old Lahaina town

In time we spread the news
A life together we would choose
Now years have passed since that day
When sweet island music began to play
In a little seaside cafe
In old Lahaina town

Now years have passed since that day
When sweet island music began to play
In a little seaside cafe
In old Lahaina town

Ukulele Grove (Larry W. Jones 03/09/2003) (song#1144)

There’s a place that not too many know
A place where island lovers go
The music there is sweet and low
Let’s go to ukulele grove

There a grove of palms reach the sky
It’s a place where love comes drifting by
It’s an island lovers cove
Let’s go to ukulele grove

We can view the light from a full moon
We even might find love there soon
It’s an island treasure trove
Let’s go to ukulele grove

Ukuleles will be playing
To guitars they’ll be swaying
That’s why I’m now saying
Let’s go to ukulele grove

We can view the light from a full moon
We even might find love there soon
It’s an island treasure trove
Let’s go to ukulele grove

Ukuleles will be playing
To guitars they’ll be swaying
That’s why I’m now saying
Let’s go to ukulele grove

That Hawaiian Sunset (Larry W. Jones 03/10/2003) (song#1145)

That Hawaiian sunset, on those Hawaiian shores
Turn the skies of blue to gold
That Hawaiian sunset, on those Hawaiian shores
Color islands red from days of old

That Hawaiian sunset, on the day that I met you
Brought shadows falling, just like my heart did too
That Hawaiian sunset, on those Hawaiian shores
Still calls to me the way they used to do

Golden sunsets have a way of calling lovers true
That’s why I love to hear you say you love me too
That Hawaiian sunset, on those Hawaiian shores
Calls me back to you and islands I adore

Hawaii is a magic place with skies of gold and blue
Every day’s a new day, just like the one before
There’s something magical I want to see with you
That Hawaiian sunset, on those Hawaiian shores

Golden sunsets have a way of calling lovers true
That’s why I love to hear you say you love me too
That Hawaiian sunset, on those Hawaiian shores
Calls me back to you and islands I adore

Hawaii is a magic place with skies of gold and blue
Every day’s a new day, just like the one before
There’s something magical I want to see with you
That Hawaiian sunset, on those Hawaiian shores

My Sweet Love Tiare (Larry W. Jones 03/10/2003) (song#1146)

I’m wishing that you were here with me
Tiare, my sweet love, Tiare
Tahiti seems to say the same thing too
Tahiti iti, Tahiti nui knows that I love you
Here the southern moon is on the sea
Tiare, my sweet love, Tiare

My heart is like an ember that warms the night
And I’m wishing I could hold you tight
You’re far away but I know you remember
Tahiti iti, Tahiti nui in the pale moonlight
Please don’t forget to remember me
Tiare, my sweet love, Tiare

I’ll have a lei made of tiare flowers
White and yellow petals from love’s bower
On you I will let love shower
Tiare, my sweet love, Tiare

I’m wishing that you were here with me
To share this night in the southern sea
Tahiti iti, Tahiti nui when we’re together
Is a place for love in balmy weather
Hurry back to me in Tahiti iti, Tahiti nui
Tiare, my sweet love, Tiare

The Hotel Bora Bora (Larry W. Jones 03/10/2003) (song#1147)

I want to stay at the hotel Bora Bora
On the southern beach on a white sand shore
I want to stay at the hotel Bora Bora
But it costs an arm and a leg and then some more

The thatched roofed huts in the tropical garden
Are built in Polynesian style
Yes, I would like to stay, but I beg your pardon
It costs an arm and a leg on Bora Bora isle

Well, the overwater bungalows are all priced sky high
Just to watch the little fishes swimming by
I’d like to stay in them bungalows on that shore
But it costs an arm and a leg and then some more

The tourquois lagoon is as clear as glass
The Bora Bora hotel sure has a lot of class
But I had to keep on driving past
To the hotel Matira which was second class

Well, the hotel Matira was second class
But it was still great fun and we had a blast
I went home broke but it was no surprise
That’s just the price you pay for paradise

I want to stay at the hotel Bora Bora
On the southern beach on a white sand shore
I want to stay at the hotel Bora Bora
But it costs an arm and a leg and then some more
I want to stay at the hotel Bora Bora
On Visa or Mastercard

Some Questions (Larry W. Jones 03/10/2003) (song#1148)

I have some questions I’ll propose to you
How much do I love you when day is through
The ocean is deep, but not deep enough
To hold the emotion my heart has for you

I have some questions for you to apprise
How high is the sky where angels fly
They’re not high enough for you to see
How much your sweet love means to me

I have some questions that can’t be delayed
How many times for your love have I prayed
More than enough since you’re here with me
On an island of love in a tropical sea

Here’s a dumb question I don’t have to ask
How come loving you is so easy a task
It’s easy ’cause you make it that way
I’ll love you forever plus another day

Here’s one last question I’ll ask of you
Will you love me and always be true
I know that you will ’cause we exchanged vows
I’ll love you for always like I love you now

Twilight Lullaby (Larry W. Jones 03/14/2003) (song#1149)

Twilight has come to the island and the tropic moon is high
Let me sing you off to dreamland with a twilight lullaby
We’ll dream about tomorrow but for today we’ll say goodbye
And listen while the tradewinds whisper a twilight lullaby

So, hush my little darling, go to sleep and have no fear
Hush my little darling, for you know that I’ll be near
We’ll dream about tomorrow but for today we’ll say goodbye
And listen while the tradewinds whisper a twilight lullaby

Twilight has come to the island and the stars will soon be bright
Let me sing you off to dreamland with a lullaby tonight
So, hush my little darling, go to sleep and have no fear
Hush my little darling, for you know that I’ll be near

We’ll dream about tomorrow but for today we’ll say goodbye
And listen while the tradewinds whisper a twilight lullaby

Everywhere (Larry W. Jones 03/14/2003) (song#1150)

Everywhere an ocean flows
There’s an island in the stream
Everywhere a lover goes
They go to find their dream
Everywhere a dark cloud goes
There shines a silver line
Everywhere you go, I know
You’re that dream of mine

Everywhere with you I find
A love that only you impart
You’re everywhere within my mind
And everywhere within my heart

Everywhere a rainbow shines
An island smiles at you
Everywhere there’s lots of signs
That island dreams come true
Everywhere you go, I hear
Music in my heart, it seems
Music loud and clear
Everywhere in island dreams

Everywhere with you I find
A love that only you impart
You’re everywhere within my mind
And everywhere within my heart

Island Ohana Love (Larry W. Jones 03/15/2003) (song#1151)

I sing Aloha to islands
I sing Aloha to island ohana love
I sing Aloha to islands
Aloha to island ohana love

If I could make music all day long
I’d make the kind where people get along
The ohana love of family would stay so strong
With ohana love we all could sing along

Ohana is the family. Music is the love
Islands are the sands of time where family is love
The ohana love of family would stay so strong
With ohana love we all could sing along

I sing Aloha to islands
I sing Aloha to island ohana love
I sing Aloha to islands
Aloha to island ohana love

So, play the ukulele, and play it strong
Play that island music that helps us get along
Ohana is the family. Music is the love
Islands are the sands of time where family is love

I sing Aloha to islands
I sing Aloha to island ohana love
I sing Aloha to islands
Aloha to island ohana love

They All Have Your Name (Larry W. Jones 03/15/2003) (song#1152)

Do you hear that ukulele strumming gaily
Do you hear those guitars sweet and low
Do you hear my heart breaking daily
And the tears I shed that daily flow

There’s the full moon still on the sea
There’s the same stars shining up above
The only thing that’s still not here with me
Is the singing of your island love

There’s nothing wrong with those island songs
They still sound the same
But there’s a reason I can’t sing along
They all have your name

Do you hear that ukulele strumming gaily
Do you hear those guitars sweet and low
Do you hear my heart breaking daily
And the tears I shed that daily flow

There’s the full moon still on the sea
There’s the same stars shining up above
The only thing that’s still not here with me
Is the singing of your island love

There’s nothing wrong with those island songs
They still sound the same
But there’s a reason I can’t sing along
They all have your name

Our Weather Vane (Larry W. Jones 03/15/2003) (song#1153)

When I sail the seven seas
And storms begin to brew
I set my compass for the breeze
That brings me back to you

When the skies look gray and mean
And I have seen a few
I steer for islands fair and green
And meditate on you

When the sails are trimmed and set
And the prow skims the blue
I sing the songs I can’t forget
Those island songs of you

When I see your smile again
I’ll not go back to sea
Love will be our weather vane
In our island life to be

When the sails are trimmed and set
And the prow skims the blue
I sing the songs I can’t forget
Those island songs of you

When I see your smile again
I’ll not go back to sea
Love will be our weather vane
In our island life to be

Sad As Beetle Bailey (Larry W. Jones 03/15/2003) (song#1154)

I don’t see you in paradise anymore
The islands aren’t the same as before
The feel of you in my arms I now miss
And I don’t feel the warmth of your kiss

I hear the ukulele daily
But it doesn’t strum for me
I’m as sad as Beetle Bailey
Even though I’m fancy free

I don’t see you in paradise anymore
The islands aren’t the same as before
The feel of you in my arms I now miss
And I don’t feel the warmth of your kiss

There was a time when love was in its prime
But I don’t see you in paradise anymore
We used to listen to those Maui chimes
Before you left our love there on the shore

I hear the ukulele daily
But it doesn’t strum for me
I’m as sad as Beetle Bailey
Even though I’m fancy free

I’m as sad as Beetle Bailey
Sad as Beetle Bailey

I Wonder If You Know (Larry W. Jones 03/15/2003) (song#1155)

My love for you is deeper than you know
How can I show you how I feel
Here on the shore where soft breezes blow
How can I show you a love that’s real

You must know that you’re never far away
You’re on my mind every day
The love that’s in my heart is here to stay
Your love is the one for which I daily pray

You must know, but I wonder if you do
That my love is on the tradewinds as they blow
It’s a love that’s true
My love for you is deeper than you know

I wonder if you know
I wonder if you know

On Galveston Isle (Larry W. Jones 03/15/2003) (song#1156)

Galveston isle
Your seawall keeps you from harm
I see her in my dreams soft and warm
She had such a lovely smile
There on Galveston isle

Galveston isle
Far from home I wonder when
When I’ll see her lovely smile again
Time with her was so worthwhile
There on Galveston isle

Galveston was more than sand and water
She was there when I needed her
But time has passed so fast it’s like a blur
I pray it’s not too late to return to Galveston

Galveston isle
Can’t you see my heart is crying
I must return before her love is dying
Some day soon I’ll see her lovely smile
There on Galveston isle

My Dreams In Old Maui (Larry W. Jones 03/15/2003) (song#1157)

To the isles again I must go down
I must go down to the sea
I must go down to old Lahaina town
I must go back to old Maui

All I need is a sailing ship
And a star to steer her by
All I need is an ocean trip
I must go back to paradise

To the isles again I must go down
I must go down to the sea
I must go down to old Lahaina town
I must go back to old Maui

The call of the sea is calling me
It calls me to return
The call of the sea is calling me
For old Lahaina town I yearn

It’s a call so clear and it sounds so near
It’s dear to my heart’s dreams
I must go back there for to see
My dreams in old Maui

To the isles again I must go down
I must go down to the sea
I must go down to old Lahaina town
I must go back to old Maui
I must go back there for to see
My dreams in old Maui

In A Polynesian Sky (Larry W. Jones 03/15/2003) (song#1158)

Baby, if you’re feeling lonely
If you’re feeling blue
Love is for two only
Two only, me and you

Baby, you can come with me
There’s a place I know
Where you won’t feel so lonely
A place where tradewinds blow

Put your gentle hands in mine
We can stroll down by the bay
The moon is there to shine
Lovebeams upon our way

We can lay beside the sea
And let the time go by
Let love songs whisper on the breeze
In a polynesian sky

Baby, you can come with me
There’s a place I know
Where you won’t feel so lonely
A place where tradewinds blow

We can lay beside the sea
And let the time go by
Let love songs whisper on the breeze
In a polynesian sky

Louie’s Luau (Larry W. Jones 03/15/2003) (song#1159)

Well, we’re going to Louie’s luau
Louie is an island man
We’re going to Louie’s luau
Louie is a luau party man

Everybody loves Louie’s luau
Strummin’ ukuleles and hula girls
Louie always seems to know just how
To make the toes on your bare feet curl

Louie’s gonna throw us a big old party
Friday night down by the shore
With kalua pig we’ll be eatin’ hearty
And we’ll all then beg for more

Slack key guitars and island songs
And all the party fun that time allows
And you know we’ll be singing along
With all those songs at Louie’s luau

Louie’s gonna throw us a big old party
Friday night down by the shore
With kalua pig we’ll be eatin’ hearty
And we’ll all then beg for more

Slack key guitars and island songs
And all the party fun that time allows
And you know we’ll be singing along
With all those songs at Louie’s luau

Bamboo Cottage In Waikiki (Larry W. Jones 03/15/2003) (song#1160)

I wanna go back to islands fair
To place that flower in her hair
There’s a polynesian girl in Hawaii
In a bamboo cottage in Waikiki

She’s a picture there in paradise
Lovely dark and beguiling eyes
I hope she’s waiting there for me
In a bamboo cottage in Waikiki

I wanna go back to island sand
Where trees all do the hula sway
I wanna be that girl’s island man
And steal her heart away

I’ll be weighing anchor any day
To that fair island in the sea
I’ll marry that girl down by the bay
In a bamboo cottage in Waikiki

To Only Me (Larry W. Jones 03/15/2003) (song#1161)

Alone, on my sunny isle today
Alone, my heart is in dismay
Until you return alone
To only me

Alone, I’m a solitary man
Alone, on my sunny island sand
Until you return alone
To only me

High in the sky, there’s a rainbow
And there must be a pot of gold somewhere
But I only want to hold
You in my arms until I’m told
That you’ll give your love to me
To only me

Rarotongan Sweetheart (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1162)

Rarotongan sweetheart
Island girl divine
Rarotongan sweetheart
I’m so glad to call you mine

I went to visit islands there
In the southern seas
There I met a girl so fair
In the moonlit tropic breeze

She was everything I knew
That I’d been searching for
My Rarotongan sweetheart true
On that southern island shore

She said Kia Orana when we met
We strolled the sand right from the start
And by the time the sun had set
She was my Rarotongan sweetheart

Rarotongan sweetheart
Island girl divine
Rarotongan sweetheart
I’m so glad to call you mine

She said Kia Orana when we met
We strolled the sand right from the start
And by the time the sun had set
She was my Rarotongan sweetheart
And by the time the sun had set
She was my Rarotongan sweetheart

Gotta Go Back To Hawaii (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1163)

I’ve gotta go back to Hawaii now
Hawaii calls and I’ve gotta go somehow
I need to catch some rays
On some sunny island days

Hawaii’s calling, calling me back to the islands now
Hawaii’s calling, gotta go back somehow
I need to catch a plane to catch some sunshine rays
Hawaii’s calling me back to sunny days

Well, can you hear the islands calling
Can you feel the sun and rays
Can you hear those ukuleles playing
Songs of old Hawaiian days

No Better Place To Be (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1164)

You may travel where you please
Even sail the seven seas
But there’s no better place to be
Than beautiful Hawaii

It has sandy golden shores
Who could ask for any more
There’s no better place to be
Than beautiful Hawaii

There, ohana love is warm, it will take you by the arm
It’s just one of many kinds of island charms

There are rainbows you will see
In skies of blue for you and me
There’s no better place to be
Than beautiful Hawaii

There are flowers everywhere
You can wear them in your hair
There’s no better place to be
Than beautiful Hawaii

Paradise is waiting there for you
It’s where all your dreams come true
There’s no better place to be
Than beautiful Hawaii

So, if you sail the seven seas
Send a postcard home to me
Ther’s no place I’d rather be
Than beautiful Hawaii

Girl On An Island Shore (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1165)

I don’t know what’s the reason
I couldn’t ask for more
I met a polynesian
Girl on an island shore

The moon was shining bright
My heart began to soar
I met a girl that night
Girl on an island shore

She was swaying to the hula
I bought flower leis to her surprise
I kept spending all my moolah
On this girl from paradise

Wait, that’s not the end of my story
Now that hula girl’s my morning glory
She’s in her own category
Girl on an island shore

She was swaying to the hula
I bought flower leis to her surprise
I kept spending all my moolah
On this girl from paradise
Now that hula girl’s my morning glory
She’s in her own category
Girl on an island shore

Leeward And Windward (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1166)

I’ve got wahinis to the leeward and the windward
They’re both true loves and my heart is stirred
It’s a triangle cornered situation and I’m the third
Since I’ve got wahinis to the leeward and the windward

Leilani is my true love and she’s so sweet
(she’s on the leeward)
Alohalani has a smile that’s such a treat
(she’s on the windward)
They’re both true loves and my heart is stirred
I wonder if they know about that girl in Maui
(she’s the third)
She’s my true love that makes a lot of Maui wowee
If they find out, I’ll be crying yowee
Guess I better go back to that sweetie in Tahiti

Guess I better go back to that sweetie in Tahiti

Dream Outta The Blue (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1167)

I dreamed the sweetest dream, outta the blue
I never dreamed it would be you
But I dreamed the sweetest dream of you

I held you in my arms, under the moon
And you said that we’d be married come next June
Pinch me to see if I’m awake
But if I’m not, just let me dream
I’ll dream until my sweet dreams do come true

I dreamed the sweetest dream, outta the blue
I never dreamed it would be you
But I dreamed the sweetest dream of you
Pinch me to see if I’m awake
But if I’m not, just let me dream
I’ll dream until my sweet dreams do come true

Of You (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1168)

My heart knows what it means
To be an island in the stream
Alone is what it means
Alone with all your lonely dreams

I have plodded along
Without so much as a song
Through some lonely, lonely years
Until you found my dream
And brought it home to me
And your love dried my tears

Now I could never ask for more
With my dreams upon your shore
My sky is blue above
I have the joy of love
Of you

Of you I still daily dream
Of you my dreams come true
Of you

Heartfelt Island Song (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1169)

Aloha ‘oe
Whispers the tradewind breeze
Aloha ‘oe
Sounds through the trees

Aloha ‘oe
Sings the islands in the sea
Aloha ‘oe
She’s in love with me

It’s island time again
Love is in the wind
Love sings to her and me
A sweet island melody

Aloha ‘oe
We both now sing along
The same heartfelt island song
Aloha ‘oe, Aloha ‘oe

It’s island time again
Love is in the wind
Love sings to her and me
A sweet island melody
We both now sing along
The same heartfelt island song
Aloha ‘oe, Aloha ‘oe

Right Or Wrong (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1170)

I think I’m right
But if I’m wrong
You’re still the dream
That came along

You’re from the isle
Down by the bay
I like your smile
What can I say

I don’t speak Hawaiian
I don’t eat fish and poi
I may be wrong
But you sure bring me joy

You’re the dream that came along
I think I’m right
But if I’m wrong
You’re still the dream that came along

I may be wrong
But I think I’m right
You’re the first song
That made me think so bright

I don’t speak Hawaiian
I don’t eat fish and poi
I may be wrong
But you sure bring me joy

I think I’m right
But if I’m wrong
You’re still the dream
That came along

How Many Islands (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1171)

How many islands have called you
And how many have you let pass by
How many islands, I wonder
Have called to you from paradise

How many sunsets have kissed you
And set the skies aglow
How many sunsets, I wonder
Where the gentle tradewinds blow

I have always wondered
And I must confess
I have always fallen under
The spell of islands that are blessed

The secret of islands will always remain
A wonder, no wonder I don’t really know
But it’s a love song, a sweet refrain
Calling from where gentle tradewinds blow
Calling from where gentle tradewinds blow

If A Love (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1172)

If the sun could paint a thousand skies
None could match this one, I’m told
The skies in isles of paradise
Painted by the sun in shades of gold

If a love could make the world seem right
Then here is what I’d do
I would fall in love with you tonight
Here in this paradise for two

Our love would be like a thousand skies
Painted true as gold
I would love you here in paradise
Never would our love grow cold

If a heart could beat for two in time
Mine would beat with yours
Our love would sound like Maui chimes
Soft and gentle as these shores

And if the world came to an end
And there were only islands in the stream
All eternity with you I’d spend
Loving you, my island dream

If You Loved Me (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1173)

If you loved me
Would you tell me all I want to hear
Or just all you’d want me to know
If you loved me
Would your words be easy to my ear
Would I, your thoughts come to know

Would you tell me
Or would you be shy
And would I see
Chances for love go by

Would you ever leave me
Like a lonely island in the stream
Never knowing what is true
Wondering, was it just a dream
If you loved me
As I love you

Would you tell me
Or would you be shy
And would I see
Chances for love go by

Would you ever leave me
Like a lonely island in the stream
Never knowing what is true
Wondering, was it just a dream
If you loved me
As I love you

None Prettier Than Fair Hawaii (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1174)

If there’s an island prettier than Hawaii
It must be hidden in the stream
Or it must just be an idle dream

But no, I’m not just dreaming
I’ve sailed the seven seas
Searching for an island half as fair
And I know that none are there
None prettier than fair Hawaii

If there’s an island prettier to see
It must be hidden in the sea
But there’s none prettier to me
Than fair Hawaii

My Old Island Friends (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1175)

They don’t look like the same old islands
But they sure are like old friends

High rises block the view
Traffic jams are there now too
But my happiness still depends on you
My old island friends

I’ve lived here too long to forget you
My dreams of island love never ends
My love for island dreams is still true
On you my happiness depends
My old island friends

High rises block the view
Traffic jams are there now too
But my happiness still depends on you
My old island friends

I’ve lived here too long to forget you
My dreams of island love never ends
My love for island dreams is still true
On you my happiness depends
My old island friends

If Dreams Were Made Of Sand (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1176)

If dreams were made of sand, I’d still be strolling you
I’d stroll down by your shore, the way I used to do
If dreams were made of sand, there in paradise I’d be
I’d be there in paradise in my Hawaii blue

And if I found that you were dreaming
The same way that I do
Then it would be seeming
That both our dreams were coming true

If dreams were made of sand, how happy I would be
I would stroll with you on sand until eternity
If dreams were made of sand, there in paradise we’d be
We would be there in paradise in our Hawaii blue

And if I found that you were dreaming
The same way that I do
Then it would be seeming
That both our dreams were coming true

Island Heart Of Gold (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1177)

The moon don’t shine in daylight
The sun don’t shine at night
Mainland life just don’t seem right
When your heart is on an island out of sight

There ain’t no stars in heaven
There ain’t no love to hold
Mainland life don’t even
Care about you if you’re old

There ain’t no mainland big enough
There ain’t no ohana stories told
There ain’t no love that’s real enough
As an island heart of gold

The moon don’t shine in daylight
The sun don’t shine at night
Mainland life just don’t seem right
When your heart is on an island out of sight

There ain’t no mainland big enough
There ain’t no ohana stories told
There ain’t no love that’s real enough
As an island heart of gold

If Dreams Only Came In June (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1178)

If dreams only came in June
I’ll tell you what I’d do
I would pick one with a moon
A dream with a honeymoon
If you would make my dream come true

Far away on an island
In the middle of a deep blue sea
A dream that was meant for two
A paradise for you and me
If you would make my dream come true

And if you wanted an ice cream cone
Even if it melted in the tropic zone
I would ask the man in the moon
To top it with moonbeams all June long
If you would make my dream come true

If dreams only came in June
I’ll tell you what I’d do
I would pick one with a moon
A dream with a honeymoon
If you would make my dream come true

If I Could Make You Mine (Larry W. Jones 03/16/2003) (song#1179)

If there were ties that bind
If there were ties that bind
I would bind your heart to mine
If I could make you mine

I would spend some time each day
In our cottage by the bay
Loving you in paradise
If I could make you mine

I know you would understand
And I would be your island man
For love we would make the time
If I could make you mine

We would live on island time
Life with you would be divine
Our love would be the tie that binds
If I could make you mine

April In The Islands (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1180)

April in the islands
It’s like eternal spring
When we say our goodbyes
The other side of Aloha it will bring
But I’ll be remembering…

April in the islands
The times that we once shared
Even if we’re not together, I’ll know
April in the islands
Was the time, the time that you cared

Your kiss I know I’lll miss
Your love that felt so new
Like springtime in the islands
And the flowers fresh with dew
I’ll be missing you

April in the islands
A love so fresh and new
The other side of Aloha
Means goodbye, but not to dreams of you
I will always remember
April in the islands, and you

The other side of Aloha
Means goodbye, but not to dreams of you
I will always remember
April in the islands, and you

Rainbows Are All The Same (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1181)

At the end of a rainbow, there’s a pot
A pot of what I don’t think I really know
Too often I believed what I was told
But I don’t think there’s a real pot of gold

I guess I’ve always been a flop
A flop in finding a rainbow with a pot
If I can’t even find the rainbow pot, I know
I’ll never find the gold where breezes blow

I’m at the end of my rope
No pot with gold could I find
My heart has given up on hope
Of finding that island love of mine

I wonder if it’s me
Well, whoever is to blame
There’s no pot of gold, you see
Rainbows are all the same

Velvet Night (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1182)

On this velvet night of tropic stars
Let me sing to you a song of love
Where the music of island guitars
Plays for my beloved

In the glow of the yellow moon
I pledge my love endlessly
On this night when love’s in tune
Bring your love to me

I didn’t know a kiss could be
As sweet as this, you see
But now that I know it can
I’m no longer a lonely man

In the glow of the yellow moon
I pledge my love endlessly
On this night when love’s in tune
Bring your love to me

On this night
This magic night
This velvet night of tropic stars
Let me sing to you a song of love
Where the music of island guitars
Plays for my beloved

Always Have A Dream (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1183)

Good times may all blow away
Bad times may come home to stay
Sometimes things turn out that way
You may be left out in the cold

Someday there might come a dream
One day a bluebird will sing
Maybe a doorway to love will unfold
Always have a dream you can hold

Night times can sometimes be cold
Island times are slow as you go
Dream times can turn into gold
Always have a dream you can hold

Someday there might come a dream
One day a bluebird will sing
Maybe a doorway to love will unfold
Always have a dream you can hold

Night times can sometimes be cold
Island times are slow as you go
Dream times can turn into gold
Always have a dream you can hold

Always have a dream you can hold

I Fear, Without You (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1184)

I know I should be feeling
Since you appeared that day
My heart reeling, healing
But this I fear I have to say
It’s the love that’s in your eyes
When we stroll down by the bay
I know how shallow life would be
Without you in paradise each day

I fear, without you
There would be no skies of blue
Without you
There would be no love that’s true
Without you
I would surely, surely cry
For no other dream would apply
Without you

Put your gentle hand in mine
And say you’ll love me for all time
For without your love so true
No other love would ever do
And nobody else could change my tears to cheers
I fear, without you

All The Islands (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1185)

I love the islands in the blue
The lure of islands too
The sweet songs of islands too
The pure ohana love that’s true

The bays, the days of summer pleases too
The mountains, valleys, pali breezes too

The islands have complete control of me
They even have the heart and soul of me
I could forever stroll their shores, you see
Because I love all the islands in the sea

I love the islands in the blue
The lure of islands too
The sweet songs of islands too
The pure ohana love that’s true

The islands have complete control of me
They even have the heart and soul of me
I could forever stroll their shores, you see
Because I love all the islands in the sea
I love all the islands in the sea

Alone With You (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1186)

The mainland is my enemy, the island my remedy
I dream about that tropic zone
Til that old tramp trader ship comes in
At the setting of the sun
Then all my fears are gone
When I find that I’m alone
Alone with you

I hold you close to me
On that island in the sea
Your love means so much to me
You’re my ecstasy

But then I awake in the foggy morn
The mainland day is so forlorn
I know again that you have gone
But then, again, the night will come
A dream again will come then too
And I’ll find myself alone
Alone with you

But then, again, the night will come
A dream again will come then too
And I’ll find myself alone
Alone with you

Are You The Dream (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1187)

Is it an island or simply a rock
Is it a bird of paradise or merely a flock
Is it island time or just a tropical clock
And is this dream just a tick of the tock

Is it a lover’s stroll or just a sandy walk
Are your words sincere or is it just talk
Are you the dream my heart will adore
And are you the girl I’ve been searching for

Will you be nice or will I pay the price
Must you have a castle or will love suffice
Am I so sure I don’t have to think twice
And are you really my dream from paradise

Are you are, or are you not
Is you is, or is you ain’t
I hope you’re the girl for my weak spot
Cause for you my heart has no restraint

Is it a lover’s stroll or just a sandy walk
Are your words sincere or is it just talk
Are you the dream my heart will adore
And are you the girl I’ve been searching for

Are you the dream my heart will adore
And are you the girl I’ve been searching for

Where Island Love Began (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1188)

Where was it that island love began
When did those steel guitars begin to ring
What was it that made the islands sing
Was it someone writing love letters in the sand

Here I am, standing with you on the shore
And they’re playing our love song once more
Even the tradewinds seem to understand
Love is in the air for every girl and man

To be here again was worth the endeavor
This is where island love got its start
Love letters in the sand that disappear, no never
Words that promised we would never part

Oh yes, this is where island love began
This is where those steel guitars began to ring
This is where my heart began to sing
This is where island love began
This is where island love began

It’s Magical (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1189)

When the sun goes down and love comes around
It’s magical
When you swoon in June, it’s gotta be the moon
It’s magical
But if some night, your dream drifts from sight
It’s tragical
And if she returns and your love once again burns
It’s magical

Have you seen island love that must have come from above
That descended on you
And have you thought of what I’m thinking of
That love depends on you
Hold her so tight that she’ll not drift out of sight
Before the night is trhough
Don’t compromise love when it’s a paradise of
Island love so true

And if she returns and your love once again burns
It’s magical

Are Islands Blessed (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1190)

Are islands blessed, are they
Well, do dreams in Hawaii come true
Are islands blessed, are they
Doesn’t Aloha mean that I love you

Would I be distressed, would I, if you went away
If tradewinds stopped, would trees in breezes sway

Could I say goodbye, no never
Could the tides forget the times
Will I always love you, whatever
Well, isn’t love as soft as Maui chimes

Are islands blessed, are they
Oh yes, they’re blessed, cause I love you, I’m sure you’ve guessed
Just listen to the words I say

Could I say goodbye, no never
Could the tides forget the times
Will I always love you, whatever
Well, isn’t love as soft as Maui chimes

Are islands blessed, are they
Oh yes, they’re blessed, cause I love you, I’m sure you’ve guessed
Just listen to the words I say

Just listen to the words I say

Nautical Knots To Tie (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1191)

That salty sailor, Captain Taylor, in old Lahaina town
Was strolling with Leilani on the shore
And Leilani said, buy me a ring and a wedding gown
That salty sailor, Captain Taylor, said I can’t stand it anymore

Oh, give me a ship, a gallant ship and a star to steer it by
I’ve got only nautical knots to tie
Oh, let me sail through the gales until the day I die
I’ve got only nautical knots to tie
Let the spray have its way in my face every day
Let me sail away to skies of blue or skies of gray
Dear Leilani, I hate to stray but hear what I say
I’ve got only nautical knots to tie

From this strand of island sand, I’ll stand before the mast
Underneath the southern skies
From old Lahaina town, I’ll be bound until I see at last
Those mountains of Tahiti rise

I have to ride the waves like galley slaves until I die
Let me be and set me free to roam the southern skies
So, say Aloha to this sailor, Captain Taylor which means goodbye
I’ve got only nautical knots to tie

I’ve got only nautical knots to tie

For Island Love (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1192)

I know this dream is drifting away like a baloon
I know this love will never stay
And I will miss you soon

But I hope you don’t despise
Words of Aloha in paradise
I just want you to know
That you’re the one I’m dreaming of
And here the tradewinds blow
For island love

You’re the epitome of island love
Why don’t you pity me
And show me love
You love is worth waiting for
I dream that my fate is for
You to love me with your island love

You and I could live a lifetime
That’s what I’m dreaming of
An island man and wife time
Under tropic stars above
So, let’s keep the dream, forget the baloon
The time, it seems, isn’t too soon
For island love

When Aloha Means Goodbye (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1193)

When you say Aloha
Does it have to mean goodbye
When you say Aloha
A part of me just dies
Why do birds of paradise, where soft breezes blow
Sing all those songs so nice, when I feel so low

When we were at the luau
I wondered if you knew how
How much my heart would sigh
I didn’t want to make a scene
But I knew what it would mean
When Aloha means goodbye

Why do birds of paradise, where soft breezes blow
Sing all those songs so nice, when I feel so low

When we were at the luau
I wondered if you knew how
How much my heart would sigh
I didn’t want to make a scene
But I knew what it would mean
When Aloha means goodbye

Return (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1194)

Before you set sail from islands
For some stale and distant mainlands
Here’s one thing you must know
Before you go

You have learned ohana love
The kind that comes from God above
So, if you find a life of strife, don’t despair
Keep in mind that you can find
Your way back to love in time
Don’t think about it twice, just

Return to paradise
Return to paradise some day
Return
And you will see that love is there
Ohana love is beyond compare
The mainland might not be so nice
So, listen to my words and my advice, and

Return to paradise
Don’t be ambiguous
The mainland states are all contiguous
Don’t be ambiguous
Do what you know is right
Mind my words and set your sight
On the islands where the future’s bright
Return
Return to paradise
And ohana love you’ll see

Golden Moon And Velvet Skies (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1195)

So tropic the golden moon
So velvet the polynesian skies
Tradewinds whisper love songs from on high
It’s the month of June
The time when lovers swoon
Under golden moon and velvet skies

Golden moon and velvet skies
And you with all your charms
Golden moon and velvet skies
Golden moments in your arms

Always you will be, my heart’s ecstasy
Woo me with your charms under golden moon and velvet skies

Golden moon and velvet skies
And you with all your charms
Golden moon and velvet skies
Golden moments in your arms

It’s the month of June
The time when lovers swoon
Under golden moon and velvet skies

Heart Of Old Lahaina’s Song (Larry W. Jones 03/17/2003) (song#1196)

It’s always June in old Lahaina
The heavens sang the song
Unending is the telling
Maui time just drifts along

The heavens declare the glory
Of the islands in its story
Perfume of flowers lingers long
In the heart of old Lahaina’s song

From the heavens come the showers
From the island, rainbows of flowers
For the heart of old Lahain’s song

It’s always June in old Lahaina
Under a canopy of stars
There’s a moon over old Lahaina
To light the strings of old guitars

It’s always June in old Lahaina
Where soft tradewinds blow along
There’s always a piece of heaven
In the heart of old Lahaina’s song

Somewhere Under The Rainbow (Larry W. Jones 03/18/2003) (song#1197)

Somewhere under the rainbow
A bluebird of paradise sings
Somewhere there’s a place I know
In Hawaii where love has taken wings

Somewhere under the rainbow
There’s a valley named Manoa
Where flowers grow and breezes blow
And Aloha means love and hello

The setting sun on the deep blue sea turns the sky to gold
And when day is done I turn to see the rainbow colors bold

Somewhere under the rainbow
Beautiful is our rendevous
Our love will be as flowers grow
Beautiful under the rainbow

Our love will be as flowers grow
Beautiful under the rainbow

Lydialani Love (Larry W. Jones 03/18/2003) (song#1198)

Lydialani is my sweetheart
She’s just a step above
From other wahinis she stands apart
It must be Lydialani love

Other island girls have tried
To win my heart with winsome ways thereof
But I just made those other wahinis cry
It must be Lydialani love

The moon is shining full tonight
It shines on Lydialani
Beams of love are in full sight
It must be Lydialani love

Coconut trees down by the bay
Wave their fronds when they see her
A little hut will be ours some day
On me and Lydialani, love will confer

Aloha, E Komo Mai
She’s a dream from up above
She’s my girl and I’m her guy
It must be Lydialani love

Off The Mainland (Larry W. Jones 03/18/2003) (song#1199)

Let’s get off the mainland
Go away to beautiful skies
Let’s build us a sand man
On the shores of paradise

I can’t stand the alarm
Five o’clock just hasn’t got charm
We’ve got to sell this farm
For sleepy days in paradise

Let’s get off the mainland
We’ll put on a disguise
Turn brown in the sand, man
On the shores of paradise

We’ll jump on a plane
Sing us a new refrain
Just north of the equator lies
Hawaiian shores of paradise

Let’s get off the mainland
We’ll put on a disguise
Turn brown in the sand, man
On the shores of paradise

We’ll jump on a plane
Sing us a new refrain
Just north of the equator lies
Hawaiian shores of paradise

Twelve Hundred (Larry W. Jones 03/18/2003)(song#1200)

If you ever ask me how long for you my love will be
Twelve hundred lifetimes, then we would wait and see
If I could do it over, not a thing would I ever change
I could sing you island songs of love that I’ve arranged

If you ever ask me how deep for you my love will be
I can only tell you that my love is deeper than the sea
Twelve hundred fathoms down lives cousin Davy Jones
Says I’ve got more songs to write about these tropic zones

Twelve hundred miles an hour, to get me to my love
Twelve hundred ways to tell you, it’s you I’m thinking of
Twelve hundred songs and counting, up to number one
You’re my island sweetheart, our love has just begun
Twelve hundred songs and counting, up to number one
You’re my island sweetheart, our love has just begun
