Hele Mai O Nani Pae 'aina (Larry W. Jones 07/26/2003) (song#1801)

Hele mai, o nani Hawai'i
Come to me, beautiful Hawai'i
Island of the lovely lehua flower
There in the ocean's bower lying
Hele mai, oh beautiful isle of my heart

Hele mai, o nani Maui
Come to me, beautiful Maui
Island of the lovely roselani flower
Fresh as the summer shower bringing 
Hele mai, oh beautiful isle of my heart

Hele mai, o nani O'ahu
Come to me, beautiful O'ahu
Island of the lovely ilima blossom
Deep love to my bosum bringing
Hele mai, oh beautiful isle of my heart

Hele mai, o nani Kauai 
Come to me, beautiful Kauai
Home to the fragrant mokihana lei
You are to me a sweet bouquet
Hele mai, oh beautiful isle of my heart

Ha`ina mai ka puana la
Let the refrain be told
Of the beautiful islands, the lovely flowers
The islands of my heart

Waikiki Island Maiden (Larry W. Jones 07/27/2003) (song#1802) My little Waikiki island maiden She knows I love her so And even though she and I are far apart Never will I ever be tradin' Her special place here in my heart Someday I'll be going back To that Waikiki shore Back to that little grass shack To the island maiden I adore Then I'll be in paradise When we wed there by the sea Island love will be in our eyes My little Waikiki island maiden and me Someday I'll be going back To that Waikiki shore Back to that little grass shack To the island maiden I adore Then I'll be in paradise When we wed there by the sea Island love will be in our eyes My little Waikiki island maiden and me
Blue Blue Lei Of Hawaii (Larry W. Jones 07/28/2003) (song#1803) Far away in sunny islands Where the bonny tradewinds play There I strolled through the sand of islands Singing with an island maid She was sweeter than the sweetest A lehua blossom fresh as dew And she wore with her long tresses A blue, blue lei of Hawaii too Then the season came for parting Before the moon of harvest rose Love for two hearts was just starting Where the balmy tradewind blows She was an island girl to treasure A lehua blossom fresh as dew Now in my dreams she is a pleasure With a blue, blue lei of Hawaii too Far away in sunny islands Where the bonny tradewinds play There I strolled through the sand of islands Singing with an island maid Then the season came for parting Before the moon of harvest rose Love for two hearts was just starting Where the balmy tradewind blows She was an island girl to treasure A lehua blossom fresh as dew Now in my dreams she is a pleasure With a blue, blue lei of Hawaii too
Waitabu Reef (Larry W. Jones 07/28/2003) (song#1804) Now Somosomo straits roars like a lion's lair And where are you now, Tiare The Fijian sea has been no friend to me The southern moon shines on this island bare As one day it shined on Tiare's hair But Tiare, dear, don't cry for me Even though your face again I may never see There's nothing here for to end my grief But watch the moon, lonely southern moon Light the crashing breakers on Waitabu reef Our ship was old, as was all its gear And where are you now, Tiare And from the safety of the land we volunteered To sail by the moon, lonely southern moon Til Somosomo straits marooned us here Now somewhere east, Tahiti lies And where are you now, Tiare Through Fijian oceans wide the sailor tries To sail by the moon, but to his grief It only lights the crashing breakers on Waitabu reef We have seen no ships sailing past this shore And where are you now, Tiare Your lovely face I fear I will see no more Our ship was old, as was all its gear And Somosomo straits marooned us here We sailed toward the western ocean shores And where are you now, Tiare And those to the east we'll see no more Happy we sailed, but now my heart's in pain At Somosomo straits and Waitabu reef we remain Now Somosomo straits roars like a lion's lair And where are you now, Tiare The Fijian sea has been no friend to me The southern moon shines on this island bare As one day it shined on Tiare's hair
Sweet Moana (Larry W. Jones 07/28/2003) (song#1805) The fairest maids of Hawaiian isles Along the island shores there dwell And not hidden with their comely smiles Are those in the mountains and valleys fair And yet, the fairest island maid of all Made my heart be never still To see her at the luau or waterfall Sweet Moana, my every dream fulfilled Her face was that of an island rose This lovely maid from paradise And everywhere that Moana goes True love she carries in her eyes This fair island maid with her lovely smile Plans for the future I would build The sweetest flower of Hawaiian isles Sweet Moana, my every dream fulfilled Cheerful she was in her work And words of love were in her songs My heart for her would ever perk When in the sand we would stroll along And at the luau on friday night She danced the hula with graceful skill No other island maid was such delight Sweet Moana, my every dream fulfilled But then she saw another island man Whose father owned the big plantation there Til me dyin' day, I'll not understand This sweet island girl, this maid so fair The plantation son one day arrived From the island valley over the hill And took away me future island bride Sweet Moana, my dreams were never filled
I'm Gonna See Ya (Larry W. Jones 07/28/2003) (song#1806) Island babe, I'm gonna see ya Let me tell you when I'll see ya See you in the summer time, when summer rolls around See you in the summer, in old Lahaina town Island babe, that island is a-callin' That old Maui island is a-callin' Calling to all men who roam, back to my island home Telling me to never ever roam Island babe, I don't want to stay here This lonely mainland is no place for cheer My heart is cryin' out, cryin' in the air My heart is on the island, knowin' you are there Island babe, my ramblin' days are over My ramblin' days just like a lonesome rover Island babe, my ship is bound, bound for a warmer shore An island shore from which I'll leave, no, never more Island babe, I'm gonna see ya Let me tell you when I'll see ya See you in the summer time, when summer rolls around See you in the summer, in old Lahaina town
Paniolo Hawaiian Cowboy (Larry W. Jones 07/29/2003) (song#1807) When I die I wanna go to Maui Be resurrected as a cowboy there Ride those wild Hawaiian paniolo horses Sing cowboy songs in the tradewind air I'll be a hapa haole paniolo Hawaiian cowboy I'll be a part of the island ohana family I'll sing island cowboy songs, eatin' fish and poi And know the joy of bein' a cowboy by the sea Texas is just too hot and dusty Wyoming is too far north for me Winds in New Mexico are much too gusty I like that Maui tradewind breeze I'll be a hapa haole paniolo Hawaiian cowboy I'll be a part of the island ohana family I'll sing island cowboy songs, eatin' fish and poi And know the joy of bein' a cowboy by the sea When I die I wanna go to Maui Be resurrected as a cowboy there Ride those wild Hawaiian paniolo horses Sing cowboy songs in the tradewind air
That Old Lahaina Stroll (Larry W. Jones 07/29/2003) (song#1808) I remember as a child in old Lahaina town As soon as that island sun was going down My mother and sister would put on their dancing gown And papa took them to the dance in old Lahaina town I would listen to Hawaii Calls on our old radio Coming over the waves from the beach at Oahu It sure was nice sleeping where the tradewinds blow And I never felt that I was alone or feelin' blue When papa came back, they would all be a-hummin' And I would beg them to let me be a-comin' too Mama said to me, just use some self control Til you're old enough to do that old Lahaina stroll Then one day my mama said it was time for me to go Dancin' in the moonlight is good for your soul And I had a fabulous time where the tradewinds blow Dancin' to that, dancin' to that old Lahaina stroll The tiki torches at midnight were all burning low The slack key and steel guitars were playin' slow Everybody was dancin' under the tropic moon aglow And my sister and her beau were so in love, I know Well, that was then, when Hawaii called so long ago And I still remember island songs on that old radio When my mother and sister would put on their dancing gown And papa took them to the dance in old Lahaina town Those sure were good times where the tradewinds blow And now every Saturday night I have a goal I listen to Hawaii Calls and when the songs are slow My husband and I still do that old Lahaina stroll And now every Saturday night I have a goal Yeah, we still do that old Lahaina stroll
Deeper Than A Submarine (Larry W. Jones 07/29/2003) (song#1809) Singers on the mainland always sing about their love About how deep the oceans are and how high is a star Well I'm just an island man and I haven't traveled very far But I know about true love in the place where islands are So, let me tell you about island love and a thing or two Islands are where I found you and where my dreams came true My love is deeper than a submarine cruising by the reef My love is softer than the winds of trade that bring your soul relief My love is finer than the snowflakes on Mauna Kea's rim My love is warmer than the waters where island people swim You can see my love in the beauty of birds of paradise And you can see how deep it goes just by looking in my eyes They sing about it in Singapore and swear it in St Claire But it's not the same as the love that's in the tradewind air There's a million ways to sing it, some even mean it too But I've found an island love where love is oh, so true So, let me tell you about island love and a thing or two Islands are where I found you and where my dreams came true My love is deeper than a submarine cruising by the reef My love is softer than the winds of trade that bring your soul relief My love is finer than the snowflakes on Mauna Kea's rim My love is warmer than the waters where island people swim You can see my love in the beauty of birds of paradise And you can see how deep it goes just by looking in my eyes My love is deeper than a submarine cruising by the reef My love is softer than the winds of trade that bring your soul relief My love is finer than the snowflakes on Mauna Kea's rim My love is warmer than the waters where island people swim You can see my love in the beauty of birds of paradise And you can see how deep it goes just by looking in my eyes
An Island State Of Mind (Larry W. Jones 07/29/2003) (song#1810) Someday, down by the bay, you'll miss me some time Oh yes, you're gonna miss me again It's just an island state of mind Go on, the tropic zone will be there to remind That you're gonna miss, gonna miss me again It's just an island state of mind After all the love I gave you You strolled away and left me broken hearted and down But remember here in Hawaii blue That my love was true in old Lahaina town Tradewinds blow, yes they blow all the time And my love for you is still there you'll find It's just an island state of mind Someday, down by the bay, you'll miss me some time Oh yes, you're gonna miss me again It's just an island state of mind After all the love I gave you You strolled away and left me broken hearted and down But remember here in Hawaii blue That my love was true in old Lahaina town Tradewinds blow, yes they blow all the time And my love for you is still there you'll find It's just an island state of mind

Jones 07/30/2003) (song#1811) The moon is full and shining on the bay I love to dance in the island way Gonna waltz by the palm trees soon Tonight's the waltz of the island moon Island moon, full and yellow as gold Dancin' on the starlit bay You're just the thing that I've been told To melt a heart soon the island way So, shine on me island moon Tiki torches all around the little grass shack Couples strolling in the sand out back I look through the window and there I see My island girl, my Cheryl Moana Marie Island moon, full and yellow as gold Dancin' on the starlit bay You're just the thing that I've been told To melt a heart soon the island way So, shine on me island moon Steel guitars and ukuleles tuned up Little island band plays for tips in a cup Tradewinds blowin' on the island shore Blowin' island love on the dancin' floor Island moon, full and yellow as gold Dancin' on the starlit bay You're just the thing that I've been told To melt a heart soon the island way So, shine on me island moon One more round of Kilima, Hawaiian waltz Then Ledward Kaapana's waltz of the wind The love you find here is never false Island love in your soul is deep within Island moon, full and yellow as gold Dancin' on the starlit bay You're just the thing that I've been told To melt a heart soon the island way So, shine on me island moon
California Shoreline Blues (Larry W. Jones 07/30/2003) (song#1812) I've got old mainland shoreline blues Tired of walkin' holes in these old shoes Been awhile since I've been gone I've been dreamin' of that tropic zone Found no love here that stayed true I'm goin' back to Hawaii blue California has a lot to choose But I've got a load to lose I've got the California shoreline blues The mainland called when I was seventeen Far flung pastures all were green Education and a top notch job No more small town island Billy Bob A gas station and night watch slob In the day I sleep and sob Add to seventeen a few more years And an ocean full of tears I've got the California shoreline blues I've rambled California up and down Far away from old Lahaina town The girls I met didn't want to stay They didn't understand Aloha anyway I listen to island music on the shore And it just makes me want the more The only thing an island boy can use Island sand to bury these old shoes I've got the California shoreline blues
Gabby Pahinui Star (Larry W.

For Hawaiian Rose (Larry W. Jones 07/31/2003) (song#1818) Out on the island where the tradewind air Caresses the swaying palm trees There lives a girl, a wahini so fair Fresh as the island breeze Her songs are those of an angel above Clear as Mauna Kea's snows It's no wonder that everyone loves The girl known as Hawaiian Rose Hawaiian Rose, Hawaiian Rose Pride of the oceans, deep are emotions Fairest flower where soft tradewind blows For Hawaiian Rose Hawaiian Rose is a lady, does nothing shady Many have asked for her hand She's a real beauty, she does her duty When it comes to working the land Here Dad owns a plantation, best in creation Growing cane in island sand One day she'll inherit, all with much merit All the sweet gold of his land Men on the island, boys in the field And some from far distant lands For Hawaiian Rose they have kneeled To ask for her heart and hand But they all sigh to hear her reply That it is I for whom true love grows For Hawaiian Rose
I Dream Of Leilani (Larry W. Jones 07/31/2003) (song#1819) I dream of Lelani with the long black hair Whispered on tradewinds of islands so fair I see her strolling down by the bay Happy as roses that islands display I remember the love songs her voice would soar Free as the birds that flew 'ore the shore Oh, I dream of Leilani with the long black hair Whispered on tradewinds of islands so fair I dream of Leilani on the warm tropic isle So glad was her heart and sweet was her smile I still hear her songs when the tradewinds blow by Surrounding my heart lest it should die Crying in the night with such endless pain Dreaming of lost love that will nere come again Oh, I dream of Lelani and yearn for her so Whispered on tradewinds where soft breezes blow I dream of Leilani, dreams that never will fade For she has my heart with her in the grave I stroll through the sand now with my dreams alone Singing her sweet songs which now have flown Now the tuberoses that grow on the shore Will never be gathered by her gentle hand more Oh, I dream of Leilani with the long black hair Whispered on tradewinds of islands so fair
Singing By The Sea (Larry W. Jones 07/31/2003) (song#1820) Oh, my bird of paradise, with your silver voice of note An island song you sing so sad and sweet I listen as it rises softly and in the breezes float On the tradewind that stirs the water at your feet She is singing by the sea She is singing by the ocean By the shore where sweet island blossoms grow And the tuberoses tremble and the Words have deep emotion With the whisper of the music soft and low Something in the measure speaks of more than words have told When sung from other lips that were not as young And I find new meaning even though the song is old Given new life and sweetness such as never sung Oh, my bird of paradise, let me fill your empty heart For I know the hidden meaning of your song I will love you always and turn your song to art And show you love that will teach you to be strong She is singing by the sea She is singing by the ocean By the shore where sweet island blossoms grow And the tuberoses tremble and the Words have deep emotion With the whisper of the music soft and low Oh, my bird of paradise, let me fill your empty heart For I know the hidden meaning of your song I will love you always and turn your song to art And show you love that will teach you to be strong
Little Kingly Cottage (Larry W. Jones 07/31/2003) (song#1821) Of all the islands anchored in the ocean stream One there is that is suited for a queen A place where love that's in the air will make you smile In my little kingly cottage on the isle Hele mai, come to me and here reside Be my island lady, my lovely island bride My kingly fortune share with me in island style In my little kingly cottage on the isle I have red island roses growing by the wall One in your hair will my heart beguile You will be my island rose to outbloom them all In my little kingly cottage on the isle Flowers filled with sweet perfume, all the year will bloom And songs of island love will fill your bower soon Hele mai, come to me for a love worthwhile In my little kingly cottage on the isle I have red island roses growing by the wall One in your hair will my heart beguile You will be my island rose to outbloom them all In my little kingly cottage on the isle Flowers filled with sweet perfume, all the year will bloom And songs of island love will fill your bower soon Hele mai, come to me for a love worthwhile In my little kingly cottage on the isle
Aboard The Flying Cloud (Larry W. Jones 08/01/2003) (song#1822) It's time for all to get aboard For the fastest ship the seas have seen Proclaims the winds are now abeam And the sounding of the bell is in the air As the mates obey commands of the captain there And over seas we glide, over oceans wide Through the storms and gales and thunder loud Aboard the fastest ship we're flying, flying Aboard the Flying Cloud Forget about the cold Atlantic That ocean's not at all romantic And just to be specific We're sailing over the wide Pacific To the islands bathed in sunlight gold Toward the west, there's islands sleeping And many secrets they are keeping Of stories that have come from old And dreams that only islands can unfold Now it's time to sing those island songs Old Flying Cloud will be there 'fore too long We'll sing them at the wave's high crest We'll sing them at our very best And let the islands hear our voices as a crowd Through the oceans we are plying Through the storms and gales and thunder loud Aboard the fastest ship we're flying, flying Aboard the Flying Cloud
Lana (Larry W. Jones 08/01/2003) (song#1823) For awhile I've known a merry island maiden Who has sung only songs of joy Her sweet smile is from a heart not laden And happy dreams of her I daily do employ But come the morrow things will change to sorrow For the time has come, my joy to resign My ship is sailing with the tide tomorrow And Lana hasn't said that she is mine My ship is sailing with the tide tomorrow And Lana hasn't said that she is mine She doesn't know yet from her dream awaking That I've been told I must depart Now that our tie is nearly breaking How strong the pull of love within my heart Should I seal my lips and hide my sorrow And sail with the tide without a sign For Lana hasn't said that she is mine Oh, I can face the seas and all its danger And bear the hardships coming that I know Of storms at sea and foreign lands a stranger But of Lana's love I never could let go My heart will break when I sail tomorrow And many days at sea for Lana I will pine For Lana hasn't said that she is mine Now, farewell and words of love be spoken And my breaking heart cannot be still But Lana's promises of love's devotion Now fills my soul with such a thrill Such sweet joy is mingled with my sorrow As smiles mixed with teardrops shine For even though I sail with the tide tomorrow Lana says, Lana says that she is mine For even though I sail with the tide tomorrow Lana says, Lana says that she is mine
Fragrant Words (Larry W. Jones 08/01/2003) (song#1824) Last night was when she told me so As we strolled by the valley stream And today my heart has a happy glow Like a page from a story book dream And her charming words are drifting on the air As a voice from a dream could only be Words as fragrant as the flower in her hair And she loves, she loves only me This island girl has filled my heart with joy And the greatest fortune on me has smiled No more with sorrows will my heart employ My tomorrows will be gold here on the isle Very soon I know what I'll be doing there Under the moon I'll ask on bended knee Words as fragrant as the flower in her hair If my bride she'll be, if my bride she'll be If she should decline, it would bring such pain To this heart of mine, this bounding heart But I'm inclined to believe the greatest gain To gain her hand I would do my every part So, I ask her as we stroll in the island sand She answers my request to be her island man Words as fragrant as the flowers by the sea She will marry, yes, she will marry me
Island Angels (Larry W.

Melancholy Midnight Song (Larry W.

Moana On That Day (Larry W.

Dreams To The Wind (Larry W.

Under Southern Skies (Larry W. Jones 08/16/2003) (song#1896) Searching for islands Wayfinding in their long canoes They settled the islands in valleys, mountains and shores A few hundred years later They still paddle canoes In the midst of talk stories from old, told one time more Steering by the swells Fighting winds and sails A young wahini impatient for her new island in the spring Everything that they own Sailing into the great unknown I wonder if those old wayfinders can still hear us sing We will sail under southern skies Searching for islands of paradise Across blue oceans deep and wide Steering by the stars and moon Praying for a landfall soon Through the storms of the day and night The wayfinding star will shine its light And we will sail under southern skies Seems freedom never came with much ease Even when sailing on a tradewind breeze Some were lost but some made it to paradise If you look close in the tropic sand There's footprints of wahini and island man And they sailed under southern skies If you look close in the tropic sand There's footprints of wahini and island man And they sailed under southern skies And they sailed under southern skies

Kalena (Larry W.

Swaying Hula Tree (Larry W. Jones 09/01/2003) (song#1991) A bird of paradise was sweetly singing The island seemed to fill with lovers tunes Those Maui chimes at noon were ringing Our world was brighter that the tropic moon My eager arms were there to caress you And you blushed when I gave the flower lei I still remember the day when I first met you And I only pray that we'll meet again some day Now I've arrived from the mainland snow and ice My heart is broken as I remember vows we made I have a fresh lei made of flowers, oh so nice To leave and fade away upon your island grave Someone please show me where she's lying I know it isn't far from the peaceful sea And someone said she told as she lay dying To let her sleep beneath the swaying hula tree In the shade of the swaying hula tree Was where the love in your eyes I could see And we heard so nice the bird of paradise As it sang to us that lovers melody There we listened to the distant roar of the sea And picked the blossoms for the lei, you and me With a love rare and true, these words I heard from you I'll be waiting in the shade of the swaying hula tree
My Sweet Island Rose (Larry W.

Over In Samoa (Larry W. Jones 09/01/2003) (song#1993) Over in Samoa, they dance with just a feather boa It's a dance they do in island sand There's really nothing to it, until you see them do it Then you'll want to give those girls a hand It's a dance you never dreamed, might have to be screened But it will put upon your face some smiles When they do the Samoa show-a, with their boa You'll know why there's romance in those Samoan isles Over in Pago Pago, eat the mango, dance the tango It's just done a little different in a tropic zone Cause when they're dancin', looks like romancin' You'll leave your heart there when you go back home Their costumes are surely pleasing, merely teasing You don't have to wonder why they wear a smile You think you're in a dream there, must be the air Over in Samoa dancing on that south sea isle Over in Samoa, when they sing their songs The kind of music you never heard before Listen with your heart and before too long You'll be begging for them to play some more And in Pago Pago, eat the mango, dance the tango Then you'll want to give those girls a hand When they do the Samoa show-a, with their boa You'll know why there's romance in those Samoan isles
