Lasting And Serene (Larry W.

On Starlight Bay (Larry W.

Blue Island Shore (Larry W.

Stumbled Mumbled Crumbled (Larry W.

A Conversation (Larry W.

Young Island Boy (Larry W. Jones 12/11/2003) (song#2341) At my first mainland job in Frisco An old island man spoke his mind But I was too young then to find The wisdom in words that he said Young island boy, I'll not woo wahinis again Or chase after dreams on tradewinds I'm old and I'm facing the end And I wish I were a young island boy again I wish I were a young island boy again So I could chase after dreams on tradewinds But old island men who now face the end Recall when islands call, and pretend That they're still young island boys again The pages of time have now turned on me And the mainland life goes by too fast Years have taken most dreams out to sea Young island boys think money will last And dreams will go on endlessly I wish I were a young island boy again So I could chase after dreams on tradewinds But old island men who now face the end Recall when islands call, and pretend That they're still young island boys again Wish I were a young island boy again
I'm Wishing (Larry W. Jones 12/11/2003) (song#2342) Looking out my cottage window Watching palm trees gently blow And the ocean as it tumbles Over the reef and down below And the light from the tiki fires Flicker softly through the year Bringing back such warm desires And I'm wishing that you were here Weekends in old Lahaina town There's lots of things that I could do Like watching the tropic sun go down Humming songs that remind me of you Oh, I tried to read the Lahaina News Through a newly forming tear And it's clear that I still miss you And I'm wishing that you were here I keep hoping to see you strolling Once again to my cottage door But like the waves that keep on rolling I've hoped for things like that before And the time just goes on past Slowly on the island, as last year My dreams have all away been cast And I'm wishing that you were here

Kinfolks On The Isle (Larry W.

Jones 12/12/2003) (song#2349) I'll come whenever the islands call Be it in early summer A pearl you are in early summer Where tradewinds blow A bright red flower for your hair A tiki torch is burning there But not as warm as my heart With love for you and tender care I'll come whenever the islands call Be it in the early autumn The harvest moon of early autumn Will have a golden glow Moonlight on the bay will sparkle Love will be in the air If the islands call in early autumn You know I'll be there I will come to you in winter For warm islands laugh at snow I will come to you in winter Underneath the tiki torches glow I'll come whenever the islands call In the early springtime of the year Knowing you'll be near to catch a heart that falls Oh, yes, in the early springtime Early summer, winter or early fall I'll come to you my darling Whenever, whenever the islands call
Who's Strolling (Larry W. Jones 12/12/2003) (song#2350) You have loved island girls where soft tradewinds blow And each wahini came from paradise You told each one that you loved her, although I know Your vows have only been lies You have strolled beneath the stars And the fullness of the tropic moon Romanced to island steel guitars In the balmy month of June Then you left each one as you strolled away I wonder if some day you'll pay And I wonder if she's strolling with somebody new I wonder who's strolling with her now Wonder if her dreams came true somehow Wonder who's with her under velvet skies Wearing his disguise In paradise I wonder if she strolls along with joy Singing songs with another island boy Wonder if she remembers me anyhow I wonder who's strolling with her now If you want all your dreams to turn out blue Then think of your own true love who's gone amiss Somewhere with her charms in other arms being kissed Lips like wine that now dine with someone new But dreams in paradise, although very nice Seem to come and go like the wind That's why I wonder who's strolling with her now Or who'll be strolling with her in the end I wonder who's strolling with her now Wonder if her dreams came true somehow Wonder who's with her under velvet skies Wearing his disguise In paradise I wonder if she strolls along with joy Singing songs with another island boy Wonder if she remembers me anyhow I wonder who's strolling with her now

Lovingly (Larry W.

Foolish Heart (Larry W. Jones 12/13/2003) (song#2357) Foolish heart, my foolish heart's still beating Even though it knows the wrong it has done The love it drove away knew no cheating Foolish heart, where there was love now there's none An isle of paradise was what she dreamed of Our plans were more than dreams at the start Now I'm all alone like an island in the stream And I put the blame on you, my foolish heart Foolish heart, oh, foolish heart, who can know you There's no gain in your bringing on such pain She's gone like an island song into the blue Foolish heart, you'll never feel her love again Come what may, future days will see the sorrow When the memory of her love will not depart And I know her love will never call tomorrow All she'll recall is the beating of a foolish heart Look at all the times I needed you to point me But you steered me to an ocean full of tears Was it just me or did you disappoint me Foolish heart, what will you do as love disappears
