A Little Island Town (Larry W. Jones 12/21/2003) (song#2402) In a little island town I remember a night like this In a little island town We shared our first kiss Moonbeams were streaming down On a night just like this We spoke of a wedding gown And we sealed it with a kiss Many nights have come and gone That little town and I are far apart I wonder if she's all alone She's the only love still in my heart In a little island town I remember a night like this We made a vow I can't let down And we sealed it with a kiss Many nights have come and gone That little town and I are far apart I wonder if she's all alone She's the only love still in my heart
On My Isle (Larry W. Jones 12/21/2003) (song#2403) I wish I had an island in the stream Where I could bury all my dreams On my isle On my isle On my island I would bury all my fears Do away with all my tears On my isle On my isle I would dream some new dreams That really would come true I wouldn't have to fear tears anymore Somewhere in the stream on my island shore Now I'm still here alone So I'll pretend to be at home On my isle On my isle I would dream some new dreams That really would come true I wouldn't have to fear tears anymore Somewhere in the stream on my island shore Now I'm still here alone So I'll pretend to be at home On my isle On my isle
Endless As The Ocean (Larry W. Jones 12/22/2003) (song#2404) Once there was an island brave named Keawe Who fell in love with Moanalani Their vows of love would last forever And for their wedding they made all endeavor Keawe gave to Moanalani a royal flower lei And she wore it on their wedding day The island drums beat loud and strong And Keawe sang to her this wedding song E ke Aloha Moanalani, ku'u ipo Forever to you is my devotion E ke Aloha Moanalani, ku'u ipo Our love is as endless as the ocean Forever will be our love They left the flame of the luau fire To another island Keawe paddled with desire But then the wind and rain flooded down Lost in the storm, their isle could not be found They never made it to their isle of paradise And their dreams of island love met with demise Folks say that when the tide the full moon brings Listen carefully and you can hear Keawe sing E ke Aloha Moanalani, ku'u ipo Forever to you is my devotion E ke Aloha Moanalani, ku'u ipo Our love is as endless as the ocean Forever will be our love
Last Ocean Fling (Larry W. Jones 12/22/2003) (song#2405) I was a sailor when I was born And I was born to see her run before the wind Billowed are the sails, stretched and surely worn I wonder when I'll see my love again But when that old ship's bell there rings I'll know her island has been seen And as I stand before the mast I swear this will be my last ocean fling I want to stroll with her again On the firmness of that island sand I was a sailor when I was born Five times I've been around the horn But now I'm a lonely sailor man And this flower lei my love will adorn But when that old ship's bell there rings I'll know her island has been seen And as I stand before the mast I swear this will be my last ocean fling I was a sailor when I was born Five times I've been around the horn But now I'm a lonely sailor man And this flower lei my love will adorn
Dreams Tossed Away (Larry W. Jones 12/22/2003) (song#2406) Inevitable are my tears Not acceptable here in disguise Apprehensible are all my fears As for you my heart still cries Attainable love has been lost A singable song in reprise Of dreams that have been tossed away Like a beautiful bird of paradise You're back on the isle again I hear the strings of sweet violins But I know I'm just dreaming Of a lonesome old love song Your charms aren't for real Your arms are here to steal This same old broken heart With no sense of right or wrong Inevitable are my tears Not acceptable here in disguise Apprehensible are all my fears As for you my heart still cries Attainable love has been lost A singable song in reprise Of dreams that have been tossed away Like a beautiful bird of paradise Like a beautiful bird of paradise
No Shoes (Larry W. Jones 12/22/2003) (song#2407) Well, I thought love was really over I thought I was at the end of the line But now I sing in fields of clover With your sweet love that now is mine Well, I thought you were really leaving With a part of this heart inside of me But now I won't be grieving With your sweet love here by the sea I used to wonder who's in my shoes Before you came and rescued me Now we'll stroll the sand with no shoes Happy as the tropic island breeze Well, I thought you were really leaving With a part of this heart inside of me But now I won't be grieving With your sweet love here by the sea I used to wonder who's in my shoes Before you came and rescued me Now we'll stroll the sand with no shoes Happy as the tropic island breeze
Short Term Mem'ry (Larry W.

Chasing Horizons (Larry W. Jones 12/22/2003) (song#2409) I still hear those sweet Maui chimes Played for the rose of mine, although hazy I sailed from her shore to far away climes Chasing horizons to who knows just where Lord, I must have been crazy Now where is my true love, is she still there Does she think of me, does she still care I hear tradewinds callin', must be her voice If I have to go crawlin', it's the best choice I hear island music, must be my brain No way to excuse it, my heart feels the pain I see her face in the moonlight of southern seas Across the equator I hope she's waiting for me Chasing horizons toward swaying palm trees I go through my mem'ry, like ships through the sea Slowly and surely, her face slips back to me She's a beautiful woman, a sweet dream come true I must find her island, across horizons of blue She gave me her heart, and I broke it in two But right from the start, I broke my heart too Chasing horizons and going nowhere I knew Chasing horizons to a love I once knew
To The Island Of Dreams (Larrt W. Jones 12/22/2003) (song#2410) We were walking the street Wishing we were strolling the beach We saw the big crowed places Oceans of blank staring faces And our thoughts strayed to embraces Over the ocean to the island of dreams Up in the sky we see a bird heading west Free of the streets, surely he's blessed To be able to fly would be so supreme Over the ocean to the island of dreams Again our thoughts wandered With deep emotion to irrestible schemes Of how we ought to just wander Over the ocean to the island of dreams Up in the sky we see a bird heading west Free of the streets, surely he's blessed To be able to fly would be so supreme Over the ocean to the island of dreams Again our thoughts wandered With deep emotion to irrestible schemes Of how we ought to just wander Over the ocean to the island of dreams Over the ocean to the island of dreams
Cherry Blossom Time (Larry W. Jones 12/22/2003) (song#2411) 'Twas on the isle of Japan that I found her A geisha girl with a face lovely sweet Cherry blossoms were blooming around her A beautiful kimono flowing down to her feet She was a lovely Japanese rose of the dawn But somehow I knew she wasn't meant for me For I would be sailing at the tide of the morn Still my heart is with cherry blossoms And a geisha girl with a face lovely sweet Cherry blossom time was almost over And so was my short visit there Lips sweet as sherry, song of canaries As I felt the ribbons in a geisha girl's hair She whispered to me, can you but linger But I kissed her hand to bid my adieu Then I placed a sweetheart ring on her finger And sailed away to leave a geisha girl blue Cherry blossom time was almost over And so was my short visit there Lips sweet as sherry, song of canaries As I felt the ribbons in a geisha girl's hair She was a lovely Japanese rose of the dawn But somehow I knew she wasn't meant for me For I would be sailing at the tide of the morn Still my heart is with cherry blossoms And a geisha girl with a face lovely sweet
Isn't It Enchanting (Larry W. Jones 12/22/2003) (song#2412) I've never seen you, but I sure do mean to You're my island queen, a tropic island scene I know the way you sway where breezes play And I can see you there with a flower in your hair I hope my dreams aren't all amiss For you're the island girl I want to kiss And so, with all my mind I find That you're the most enchanting dream divine Isn't it enchanting Moonlight in the night Make believe just seems so right Isn't it enchanting Tradewinds whisper the oldest of love words The boldest I have heard from the isle of love And the monkeys in the trees making monkeys out of me Isn't it enchanting I have heard that the night is young and so are we Isn't it enchanting Steel guitars wafting music on a night like this While on your lips a kiss that I'm now planting Isn't it, isn't it enchanting Isn't it enchanting Moonlight in the night Make believe just seems so right Isn't it enchanting To be in love with a dream like you
Cool To Be Crazy (Larry W.

Right (Larry W. Jones 12/22/2003) (song#2414) Right The time is right for a kiss It would be right for happiness It can't be wrong When it feels so right like this Right The time is right to just say At this time of night by the bay That it can't be wrong To fall in love here to stay Everything's right and nothing is wrong You were sent here to be my love song The night is so young and my love is so strong You'll wear my ring and our love will last long Right It's right that I should want you so much Bright is our future and soft to the touch It can't be wrong When it's so right that I love you so much
Warm Island Shore (Larry W. Jones 12/22/2003) (song#2415) In my wildest dreams I go to extremes To try to get me back to her once more Sadly I'm dreaming, gladly I'm scheming To return to her warm island shore It happened in Hana where soft breezes blow I met her on Maui and I love her so Steel guitars and real live stars And lips that know how to smile My heart was scattered clear to Mars When I had to leave her on the isle It happened in Hana in the blink of her eyes Some day I'm gonna return to her paradise My broken heart longs for my ku'u ipo sweetheart That I left on her warm island shore It happened in Hana where soft breezes blow I met her on Maui and I love her so Steel guitars and real live stars And lips that know how to smile My heart was scattered clear to Mars When I had to leave her on the isle It happened in Hana in the blink of her eyes Some day I'm gonna return to her paradise My broken heart longs for my ku'u ipo sweetheart That I left on her warm island shore
My Aloha Dream (Larry W.

Personally Blue (Larry W. Jones 12/23/2003) (song#2417) When someone you love has come and gone Empty arms and lonely nights will come along And that person will be personally blue That person is me and that someone is surely you That person will miss you and must confess Without you there's no more finding happiness A broken hearted dreamer with dreams of blue That dreamer is me and that dream is surely you I never understood why you strolled away It's beyond my comprehending It doesn't do me any good anyway To respond to a night without ending Maybe someday I will feel the pull of love And maybe someday I will find a love that's true And if you wonder who it is I'm thinking of I wonder if you know it's you Maybe someday I will feel the pull of love And maybe someday I will find a love that's true And if you wonder who it is I'm thinking of I wonder if you know it's you
Island Fever (Larry W. Jones 12/23/2003) (song#2418) My mind is swaying like a palm tree in the tradewind My heart is flying like a bird that's on the wing People think I'm nuts cause it's hard to keep it in It feels like I've got island fever in the spring My eyes are like the star in the flag of Texas Paradise is not too far from my solar plexus My breathing is kind of shallow and everything It feels like I've got island fever in the spring Sometimes I wonder if I should be somewhere else This new love will have me wearing white tie and tails I'm just an island boy with a new engagement ring It feels like I've got island fever in the spring My eyes are like the star in the flag of Texas Paradise is not too far from my solar plexus My mind is swaying like a palm tree in the tradewind People think I'm nuts cause it's hard to keep it in I'm just an island boy with a new engagement ring It feels like I've got island fever in the spring I'm just an island boy with a new engagement ring It feels like I've got island fever in the spring
Lack Of Island Love (Larry W. Jones 12/23/2003) (song#2419) I never knew that I would miss you Like I do I never knew that I would feel the way That I do When the sun at noon is high In the tropic sky I know the moon at night Won't be a philanthropic guy To take my blues away It must be island love, island love Or the lack thereof My dreams are all reminiscent of Lack of island love How could it be that I couldn't see What to do I know I need you here with me Next to you The birds up in the trees Here in paradise Sing of love just as they please But their songs don't seem To take my blues away It must be island love, island love Or the lack thereof My dreams are all reminiscent of Lack of island love My dreams are all reminiscent of Lack of island love
Two Paddles To Crew (Larry W.

Too Sad To Sing (Larry W. Jones 12/23/2003) (song#2421) Once upon a time Someone wrote a song About how once in every life A dream would come along That almost sounded like a song Once upon a time I beheld your charms I thought you'd be my wife And fill my empty arms And it almost sounded like a song The island sun was warm in December Like it is all through the year But the tiki torch is just a dying ember That soon turns cold and gives no cheer Now the song within my heart Doesn't mean to me a thing It's just a love song torn apart That's much too sad to sing Now the song within my heart Doesn't mean to me a thing It's just a love song torn apart That's much too sad to sing It's much too sad to sing
Big Island (Larry W.

Even More (Larry W. Jones 12/27/2003) (song#2423) I know now that I really know you Tradewinds can't blow away your smile You never ask, but I can show you That it's not a task when love's worthwhile The islands are like a string of pearls Surrounded by a sea of blue That goes around an ocean, girl, of loving you In your eyes, I find paradise reflections In your arms, I find there are no questions In your heart, I feel the beat of love alive In your dreams, you say we're safely on the shore I know now that I can love you even more We both know that life brings changes Even on an isle where tradewinds blow But time itself won't rearrange us When we exchange the time to make love grow And even though the tides may turn We know they'll return just the same As our love that's anchored on the shore remains In your eyes, I find paradise reflections In your arms, I find there are no questions In your heart, I feel the beating of love alive In your dreams, you say we're safely on the shore I know now that I can love you even more In your heart, I feel the beat of love alive In your dreams, you say we're safely on the shore I know now that I can love you even more
In Your Island Dreams (Larry W.

My Hurtin' Heart (Larry W.

Southern Island Custom (Larry W. Jones 12/28/2003) (song#2432) It's a southern island custom If you're strolling down the beach To bid everyone 'ia orana 'oe Which I think you'll find is neat It's a southern island custom To exchange a fragrant lei The tiare is always in the bloom Where Tahitian palm trees sway If a vahini meets a tane As they did in days of old Sometimes the vahini and the tane Find a love that's made of gold And if they stroll together On a southern island, noon and night It's a southern island custom That soon love is a tiki torch light It's a southern island custom To exchange a fragrant lei The tiare is always in the bloom Where Tahitian palm trees sway And if they stroll together On a southern island, noon and night It's a southern island custom That soon love is a tiki torch light
It's Mysterious (Larry W. Jones 12/28/2003) (song#2433) You smile and violins begin You speak Hawaiian, I break out my dictionary again It's mysterious The moon in paradise Gives up all its beams, I see them in your eyes It's mysterious Without a star by which to steer It's mysterious just how I found you here When we're strolling hand in hand The isle is so much more than beach and sand It's mysterious It's hard to explain why I hear the same refrain When no island band is playing It's mysterious The reason why they're all so true Is not just dreams in Hawaii blue It's mysterious But it's not a mystery why I love you When we're strolling hand in hand The isle is so much more than beach and sand It's mysterious It's hard to explain why I hear the same refrain When no island band is playing It's mysterious The reason why they're all so true Is not just dreams in Hawaii blue It's mysterious But it's not a mystery why I love you
I Will Always Believe (Larry W. Jones 12/28/2003) (song#2434) We go strolling everywhere And I know you really care Sometimes it's hard to believe That such a dream I would receive I place a flower in your hair A symbol of my love to wear Here in Hawaii blue My dreams are coming true Soon everyone will know Our love is not just show As long as there will be Your love right here with me I will always believe Here in Hawaii blue My dreams are coming true Maui chimes I now hear ring My heart begins to sing Every time we take a stroll Down where the breakers roll As long as there will be Your love right here with me I will always believe I place a flower in your hair A symbol of my love to wear Here in Hawaii blue My dreams are coming true Soon everyone will know Our love is not just show As long as there will be Your love right here with me I will always believe
A Pretty Island World (Larry W.

Old Sailor's Cafe (Larry W. Jones 01/20/2004) (song#2527) Moana wakes up early, usually at four AM By five, behind the counter before it's day Her sailor friends out on the docks Will soon be dropping in Not long after she punches her time clock At the old sailors cafe by the bay Moana's been there working where sailors lies reside Years of coffee refills and toast with hashbrowns on the side Whatever dreams there are across the ocean She'll never see the other side She's on the downhill side of forty At the old sailors cafe by the bay Moana's never found a true island love Getting up at four AM is tough Not enough time for making time thereof Oh, but Moana holds onto her dream It's the only thing, it seems That keeps her star from falling from above Moana knows all the sailors by first name Spam and eggs and change for twenties Old sea stories light the flicker of her flame But all she gets is pots and pans and pennies And she turns on the radio when she's all alone Washing up the dishes to the saddest songs She looks to the horizon as ships sail far away It's time to close at the old sailors cafe by the bay

Jones 01/31/2004) (song#2580) I woke up this morning to the tropic sun Tuned my radio to K-POI 97.5 My favorite sad song had just begun Drifted back to sleep tryin' to survive It's more than just emotion With that song of lost devotion that they play (More than just emotion) I start dreaming by the ocean (More than just emotion) When I see Leilani stroll away I see my Leilani strolling away So many months have come and gone It's no paradise bein' alone New faces come and then wander on But Leilani's face I ponder on my own It's more than just emotion With that song of lost devotion that they play (More than just emotion) I start dreaming by the ocean (More than just emotion) When I see Leilani stroll away I see my Leilani strolling away When I'm weary and feeling worn I turn my favorite sad song on And dream of Leilani where tradewinds blow When I close my eyes, she strolls away She strolls away, my Leilani strolls away It's more than just emotion With that song of lost devotion that they play (More than just emotion) I start dreaming by the ocean (More than just emotion) When I see Leilani stroll away I see my Leilani strolling away
More Than A Wahini (Larry W. Jones 01/31/2004) (song#2581) She's an island girl I know so well A little wahini strollin' by the bay But not til recently could I tell That she's swept my feet and heart away All of a sudden I see the light She's part of everything I do She's got me dreamin' both day and night It seems overnight is how fast she grew When she's in my arms, I'm in paradise She's the reason why I'm happy here If I lost her charms, I would surely die The sun shines at night when she appears She's more than a wahini Much more than a little wahini She's more than a wahini Much more than a little wahini to me There's old island talk stories, most are true Of island boys and girls in love like her and me And I can see us here in Hawaii blue Being a part of repeating history She's more than a wahini Much more than a little wahini She's more than a wahini Much more than a little wahini to me
A Tropic Island (Larry W. Jones 01/31/2004) (song#2582) There's got to be a tropic island somewhere If I can just sail on through this night I'll be lookin' at that tropic sunshine If I can just keep on sailin' til daylight Oh, I know there's a tropic island somewhere On a new horizon beyond the storm My island love and I will be together Strolling in the sand with breezes warm First mate says we should be arriving If this old ship a few more breakers climb I pray it's not too late to be surviving So I can see my love and hear those Maui chimes There's got to be a tropic island somewhere We should be abeam of a tropic shore I pray I'll be there to hear her laughter And I won't be sailin' away any more There's got to be a tropic island somewhere Got to be a tropic island somewhere Got to be a tropic island somewhere And I won't be sailin' away any more
My Song Of Love (Larry W.

A Smile Away (Larry W. Jones 02/01/2004) (song#2586) There lived a wahini and an island boy They never met at a luau or shared the poi For she lived on the leeward side of the isle And he lived on the windward side Never did they meet, never did they kiss Never did they know what they had missed For she lived on the leeward side of the isle And he lived on the windward side Island love can be as sweet as a tuberose But it won't grow without the morning dew Every island boy must meet his wahini joy To find a love that makes a dream come true Now you and I are made just that way How would we know love is just a smile away For you live on the leeward side of the isle And I live on the windward side Island love can be as sweet as a tuberose But it won't grow without the morning dew Every island boy must meet his wahini joy To find a love that makes a dream come true Now you and I are made just that way How would we know love is just a smile away For you live on the leeward side of the isle And I live on the windward side
Because Of Your Love (Larry W. Jones 02/04/2004) (song#2587) Even though the seasons change, my love The reasons never do The islands exchange, my love All of my dreams for you The years have passed on by But few tears have we known Rainbows bring cheer to skies Where our love lingers on The day comes in, the day goes out Just like the tide, so sure and true I have succumbed to love, no doubt My heart goes out to you Time seems to always fly Like dreams that come and go But we're a team and that is why Maui chimes ring sweet and low Let the world itself grow cold I don't care if it does because You're my girl made of gold And our love will never pause Our love is as fresh as new Warm islands calls to me and you A song of love for only two Year in, year out, it's true Because of your love Because of your love Because of your love
I Dream Of You (Larry W.

My Foolhardy Heart (Larry W. Jones 02/05/2004) (song#2589) How golden is the tropic moon Take care my foolhardy heart How bolden plays the island tune So unfair to my foolhardy heart Is this love or just infatuation There's no clear line for times like this But it's not just merely the fine location Lost on an island in the magic of a kiss Our lips are getting closer, that's for sure Take care my foolhardy heart An island is a great composer, a magic lure That makes the tiki torches start How golden is the tropic moon Take care my foolhardy heart How bolden plays the island tune So unfair to my foolhardy heart But this time it's not infatuation From some celestial dreamer's chart It's island love, true island love For my foolhardy heart

Moon Over Hilo Bay (Larry W.
