Isle Of Olden Dreams (Larry W. Jones 04/04/2004) (song#2801) I know there exists two lips that I kissed lovingly My heart was felled when hands that I held beckoned me Over the ocean with deep devotion, I can still see Someone sighing as she's crying Aloha 'oe, Aloha 'oe Here in my mind I find myself back on that shore Strolling warm sand, hand in hand as before Keep my love in your heart, should ever we part, I say But come the morning without warning, my dream drifts away I hear the call of an island But it's far in the past, it seems Cast in the sand, in the land of My isle of olden dreams Where the waves kiss the shore I miss her more than ever And I know, where tradewinds blow I'll forget her never, no never Here in my mind I find myself back on that shore Strolling warm sand, hand in hand as before Keep my love in your heart, should ever we part, I say But come the morning without warning, my dream drifts away I hear the call of an island But it's far in the past, it seems Cast in the sand, in the land of My isle of olden dreams
Island Kisses Mainland Tears (Larry W. Jones 04/04/2004) (song#2802) Island kisses, mainland tears That's all I have for souveniers Never dreamed I'd be strolling alone Along this road of memories Happy days with lots of fun Now they're just a sad refrain I recall the island's call to summer sun As I look out at the cold and rain Island love is a fire, a sweet desire That burns wherever you are And nothing sounds like the sound acquired From an island steel guitar Island kisses, mainland tears Like sweet music, they fade away That's all I have for souveniers Along with dreams of yesterday Island love is a fire, a sweet desire That burns wherever you are And nothing sounds like the sound acquired From an island steel guitar Island kisses, mainland tears Like sweet music, they fade away That's all I have for souveniers Along with dreams of yesterday That's all I have for souveniers Along with dreams of yesterday Island kisses, mainland tears
I Hold My Head Up (Larry W. Jones 04/09/2004) (song#2803) I hold my head up when I go strolling So tears don't go rolling and fall Memories of happy island days are tolling Tonight when I'm alone and islands call I hold my head up when I go strolling Viewing the stars in paradise Memories of gentle waves that came rolling Memories of you through tearful eyes Cheerfulness lies somewhere beyond the rainbow Cheerfulness has gone from where tradewinds blow I hold my head up when I go strolling So tears don't go rolling and fall My heart now needs so much consoling Tonight when I'm alone and islands call Memories of happy island days are tolling But tonight I can't hear the tune Loneliness is what the stars are extolling Happiness is on the far side of the moon I hold my head up when I go strolling So tears don't go rolling and fall My heart is on the reef where waves are rolling Tonight when I'm alone and islands call

Bells Four (Larry W.

Jones 04/19/2004) (song#2874) Island love is strong It's a love song That doesn't belong to disappointment and tears The islands call to all endlessly To return to someone through the years And it yearns for someone, someone to learn too That island love is a dream that comes true Island love isn't blind It's never unkind And it binds itself to contentment for years It dwells in twilight, in soft moonlight Thrives on happiness and cheers And it impels someone, someone to believe too That island love is a dream that comes true My ku'u ipo sweetheart... That's why I held to this dream, this dream that we knew For the islands, it seems, called me to return to you Island love isn't sad It's tender, not bad It smiles even when dark clouds appear And so, let's forget yesterdays, put them away The future looks bright and clear I want you to know, so you will know too That island love is a dream that comes true
Cindy And Mr Dumpty (Larry W. Jones 04/19/2004) (song#2875) Well, island folks called her Cinderella She never had a fella in Hawaii blue The only guy she knew was Mr Dumpty All the island folks asked, Humpty who? Nobody thought they were very pretty They even thought it sounded witty If both of them were in the Honolulu zoo Mr Dumpty spoke of interisland ferries Red berries and a cow beyond the moon Cinderella told about how her sisters Laughed at her blisters I presume While they wore in their hair tuberoses That gave off all that sweet perfume Tradewinds were blowing softly there Humpty asked Cinderella to the luau show But Cindy had no hula skirt to wear So, she said that he might call her though Well, Cindy gave Humpty her telephone number And then left him sitting on the wall I guess we know the rest of Cindy's story She married a kumu hula and did quite well And of Mr Dumpty's fall, most of us recall But just why he was on the wall, who can tell Was it an obsession, or maybe deep depression But he sure made an impression when he fell
Banks Of Sweet Tuberoses (Larry W. Jones 04/20/2004) (song#2876) As I strolled out one fine island morning A-viewing Manoa valley and to smell the salt air Twas down by the banks of the sweet tuberoses That there I beheld an island maiden so fair With three long steps I strolled up beside her Not knowing if she would just pass me by I strolled up to her, thinking to woo her For she looked to me as from paradise Said I, pretty maid, what island are you from And what is the reason for your face of grief I'll make you happy when plays the wedding drum If you will but grant my poor heart this relief Be off, be off with you, all men are deceiving This fair island maid said, said it so plain Twas another like you that has my heart grieving And to give words of comfort are all in vain But I took the fair maid down to Manoa valley And there to this day do we happily dwell Where the pretty little small birds do change their voices And each island morning, songs they do swell Oh, come all ye young men who would go out a-sailing Give now attention to these words I do tell Though dark be the clouds with fair island maid wailing True love will no doubt bring a sunny day well

Best Under The Sun (Larry W.

Birth Of Slack Key (Larry W.

Rose Of Hanalei (Larry W.

An Island Of Love (Larry W. Jones 05/20/2004) (song#2980) An island of love is easy to find One is waiting for you Just over that horizon line To make your dreams come true An island of love is not very far The tiki fire glows Where shines the tropic stars And where the tradewind blows Blue waters sparkle like diamonds The sand is warm and colored gold Such treasure should not be shunned For tropical islands never grow old An island of love is easy to find One is waiting for you Just over that horizon line To make your dreams come true An island of love is easy to find And you don't need a nautical chart Look just over that horizon line And you'll find it somewhere in your heart
Violins Tuberoses And You (Larry W.

Down At Ala Moana (Larry W.

Those Hawaiian Islands (Larry W.

Can't Turn Off The Moon (Larry W.

Hilo Hattie Hula (Larry W.

So Far From You (Larry W.
