Sand And Sunshine (Larry W. Jones 08/19/2004) (song#3401)

Warm days of sand and sunshine
When we stroll down by the bay
Is a wonderland on a far flung shore
A song of love that's sung for evermore

Warm days of sand and sunshine
In the tradewinds of summer time
Tells me that my dreams come true
In these days of sand and sunshine
With you

Just being here with you is like a summer breeze
A breeze that makes sweet memories
A wonderland on a far flung shore
A song of love that's sung for evermore

(Warm days of sand and sunshine)
In the tradewinds of summer time
Tells me that my dreams come true
In these days of sand and sunshine
With you

When You Find An Island Love (Larry W. Jones 08/23/2004) (song#3402) When you find an island love You're all joyful and excited It's like the whole world's been invited Like a dream just alighted When you've just found an island love Under tropic stars above When you find an island love Your heart that never sang is singing Maui chimes that never rang are ringing Your once empty arms now are clinging To your new found island love When you find an island love It doesn't matter now How you felt back then For island love will disavow All loneliness ever again When you find an island love Cloudy days won't even phase you Though polynesian eyes may daze you And paradise may amaze you When you've just found an island love Under a tropic moon above It doesn't matter now How you felt back then For island love will disavow All loneliness ever again Cloudy days won't even phase you Though polynesian eyes may daze you And paradise may amaze you When you find an island love When you find an island love
Dream That Came Strolling (Larry W. Jones 08/23/2004) (song#3403) Where gentle waves seem to always come rolling I thought I saw a dream come strolling Yes, I did Yes, I did And as she was walking I thought I heard her talking Aloha, e komo mai Which sounded grand in island sand Of paradise I thought I saw her hula dancing Which was the formula for romancing Yes, it was Yes, it was And when that dream was falling in my arms I kept recalling all her island charms There was no harm in saying Aloha, too For that dream that came strolling Where gentle waves were rolling Seems to be only you There was no harm in saying Aloha, too For that dream that came strolling Where gentle waves were rolling Seems to be only you
My Tomorrow Has Come (Larry W. Jones 08/23/2004) (song#3404) I'll be sailing tomorrow I must leave you, my friends Aloha 'oe, farewell and sorrow Hear the call of tradewinds Out on the seas I must dwell I'll be sailing as surely As outgoing tides leave the bay For my tomorrow has come And I must be sailing away Oh, you must know from the start Of this pain in my heart for tomorrow I must leave you, my friends Aloha 'oe, farewell and sorrow Hear the call of tradewinds Out on the seas I must dwell I'll be sailing as surely As outgoing tides leave the bay For my tomorrow has come And I must be sailing away For my tomorrow has come And I must be sailing away
That Island Melody (Larry W. Jones 08/24/2004) (song#3405) I fell in love with an island melody That captured me, enraptured me My poor heart in its every part Is now haunting me Wanting to sing in harmony With that island melody Every night and every day Like some mystical, magical charm That island melody appears Brings me to tears with its souvenirs But it's still oh, so warm So, go ahead and play that island melody Play that sweet refrain tenderly Even though it haunts me so That music of love from across the sea My heart will listen to that harmony Which will linger forever in my memory For I will dream away as they play That island melody So, go ahead and play that island melody Play that sweet refrain tenderly My heart will listen to that harmony Which will linger forever in my memory For I will dream away as they play That island melody
Canebreak Island Song (Larry W. Jones 08/24/2004) (song#3406) Down in the canebreak by the old sugar mill There lived an island girl named Leilani Lil When I told her I loved her, I meant it to be strong And when I serenaded her, this was my song Hele mai, ku'u ipo, my canoe is lying low It lies at the bay where gentle breezes blow Hele mai, ku'u ipo, so lovely and brown Come with me and we will go Around to old Lahaina town Down in the canebreak, she waits I know Down where the tropic moon is risin' low I know that she's waitin' by her cottage door And I know she's happy on this island shore Down in the canebreak, down by the bay We'll hear those Maui chimes ringin' some day In a brand new cottage in a brand new little bed There'll be a little keiki island baby, just as I said Down in the canebreak, by the old sugar mill Love we will forever make, me and Leilani Lil Until our days are over, our love will still be strong And I will serenade her with my canebreak island song
Moonglow Of Yesterday (Larry W. Jones 08/24/2004) (song#3407) Hawaiian skies are purple at twilight time The right time to remind my melancholy heart That we're apart as the moon begins to climb Up in the tropic sky, love beams to impart I still see you that day strolling far away And today this song just will not die Island love is the moonglow of yesterday The music of love and woe in paradise Now each lonely night I seem to spend In dreams to the music of an island song It's a melody of love that we once knew Like a dove that coos for a mate thereof When your dream was me and mine was you Your kisses were not just imagination But that was before you strolled away Now my heart has no consolation Except in the moonglow of yesterday Outside an island cottage door When moonbeams are shining on the shore Once again I hold you in my arms Birds of paradise sing a sweet refrain Of a paradise that's gone away And though my dreams are now in vain I still see the moonglow of yesterday In the memory of your love again
Rose Of The Polynesian Sea (Larry W. Jones 08/24/2004) (song#3408) On a polynesian sea Lives a maiden dear to me A lovely one and oh, so fair A sweet tiare in her hair Rose of the polynesian sea In dreams I sail so far away To that distant Opunohu bay Where a song still rings of her With words my heart sings today White sails out on the blue Polynesian isles come into view Those sails have taken me Once again across the sea to you Heavenly is this dream of you Rose of the polynesian sea A flower of love that I knew Now a dream that won't let me be When the full moon begins to beam I begin again with all my schemes Of how to make this dream reality And make you mine eternally My rose of the polynesian sea
Down Makaha Road (Larry W. Jones 08/25/2004) (song#3409) As I picked my koa guitar strings The rhythm of the islands helped us sing And we would rock there in harmony With the tradewinds in that old porch swing I played kiho'alu on my old koa guitar Believing that someday I'd be a star And future plans, happiness would bring So, I left her there on west Makaha road Played luaus and hotels lookin' for that motherload Chasing empty dreams in Hawaii blue While she made all of hers come true Now I'm down and out in Lahaina town And without a doubt, she's not around To hear me pick my koa guitar strings and sing My thoughts go ram'lin' down Makaha road Trying to find that dream of mine I left a dream come true for a heavy load When I left that girl waitin' down Makaha road I'm playin' hotels and luaus at a faster pace No one can tell I'm lookin' for her face I still dwell on thoughts that send me back there She's somewhere in old Oahu While I'm in Lahaina town feelin' blue I can still see the flower in her hair My thoughts go ram'lin' down Makaha road Trying to find that dream of mine I left a dream come true for a heavy load When I left that girl waitin' down Makaha road My thoughts go ram'lin' down Makaha road Trying to find that dream of mine I left a dream come true for a heavy load When I left that girl waitin' down Makaha road
Under A Golden Moon (Larry W. Jones 08/25/2004) (song#3410) Slowly the golden moon Climbs into starlit skies Tradewinds whisper as lovers sigh You and I, with hearts in tune Have found our paradise Under a golden moon With you here in my arms It's always the month of June As your charms beguile my heart for keeps Under a golden moon On a night so balmy warm This night with you was made to swoon With you in my arms so beautiful and sweet Here in my heart, love for you will remain And the moon will play its part just the same Under a golden moon With you here in my arms Soon your charms will be all mine for keeps Under a golden moon Under a golden moon
Leilani Mine (Larry W. Jones 08/25/2004) (song#3411) Leilani mine, don't let your heart pine, dear Summertime, anytime, you know I'm near Don't be blue in Hawaii blue For where tuberoses bloom I'll soon return to you, Leilani mine Leilani mine, you're the tropic sun to me My sunshine here by the bluest sea Don't let your days be dreary even for awhile Let your smile chase away clouds from the isle Leilani mine, Leilani mine The yellow moon will come and shine And I'm the fellow who'll be there To claim the loveliest flower mine When turtle doves coo for their love Even if the moon is hiding above I won't mind because I know I'll find The light of love somewhere in paradise It will be in your eyes, sweet Leilani mine I won't mind because I know I'll find The light of love somewhere in paradise It will be in your eyes, sweet Leilani mine
My Open Arms (Larry W. Jones 08/25/2004) (song#3412) mm-mm-mm mm-mm-mm My open arms, arms that reach for you But if they have to wait My open arms will only wait for you And here where tradewinds gently play My arms will be open just this way Until you return to fill my open arms some day Each lonely night when I go to sleep mm-In my mind and heart Sweet dreams of you I always keep My open arms won't be open long Because I heard a song that said you're comin' home And when you return to this island shore My open arms will close around you once more mm-yeah, my open arms Will close around you once more
An Island Is A Dream (Larry W. Jones 08/25/2004) (song#3413) An island is a dream That seems to somehow be enchanted Don't take an island for granted For it's a little world that's all aglow Ask all the lovers, they're the ones who know And when you see a tropical falling star That's when you know an island is enchanted It's a topic for an island love, just plant it Plant it in the sand and watch love grow Another enchanted thing that's really grand Is strolling hand in hand with your lover In the twilight when the moon just begins to rise In an island scene like that, you'll soon discover The enchantment of an isle of paradise Islands in the stream are yours and mine And there it seems you're enchanted all the time Another enchanted thing that's really grand Is strolling hand in hand with your lover In the twilight when the moon just begins to rise In an island scene like that, you'll soon discover The enchantment of an isle of paradise Islands in the stream are yours and mine And there it seems you're enchanted all the time
Ocean Liner Goodbye (Larry W. Jones 08/26/2004) (song#3414) Every time we say Aloha 'oe goodbye I feel like I'm gonna die Every time we say Aloha 'oe goodbye I can't help but wonder why Why does the man in the moon above The one who knows where the tradewind blows Why doesn't he keep you here with me Instead of allowing you to go But when you're here with me on the shore There's something with glee about it Birds are singing I never heard before There's something of paradise to me about it No love song written could be finer When my heart sings a love song lullaby But every time you take that ocean liner The notes are major and never minor Every time we say Aloha 'oe goodbye
Sweet Island Siren (Larry W. Jones 08/26/2004) (song#3415) Well, if I were Don Ho I'd write you a letter, I know Or even better, somethin' island inspirin' For a sweet island siren Where breezes blow Well, I might be no poet And don't you know, I know it But anyhow This song, I avow Is a perfect fit for you You're the reason for my everything In every season you're my song to sing When I'm slumbering, you're my tropic sun You're always numbering my number one Every time I kiss you, I'm so glad And every time I miss you, I'm so sad You are the swoon of the moon And soon will come the June I've been waiting for There'll be a tune to a wedding by the shore Who could ask for more The only task I ask of you, and I ain't lyin' Is to be my sweet island siren for evermore
Our Faded Island Love (Larry W. Jones 08/26/2004) (song#3416) When you left, you didn't say Aloha 'oe goodbye And you left me to wonder why Why I stand in island sand here in paradise Here in Hawaii blue, so blue I could cry Raindrops come raining down around my head They're not from the skies but from my eyes instead The skies are beautiful above but only remind me of Our beautiful but faded island love High up in the tall palm trees The birds are so in love with the breeze Then they simply fly away And there's nothing left to be speaking of It reminds me of that day when you took away all of Our beautiful but faded island love I'm like the waving fronds in the tall palm trees Once a bird of paradise was fond of me You are that bird of paradise I tried to please Here on this island in the sea I was so joyful that our paths had crossed My heart was filled with joy, full of love that cost It was beautiful to see, but was not to be Our beautiful but faded island love I'm like the waving fronds in the tall palm trees Once a bird of paradise was fond of me You are that bird of paradise I tried to please Here on this island in the sea I was so joyful that our paths had crossed My heart was filled with joy, full of love that cost It was beautiful to see, but was not to be Our beautiful but faded island love
Dear Hawaii (Larry W.

Sail Away With You (Larry W. Jones 09/01/2004) (song#3427) If somebody asked me to paint a landscape Of an island in a sea of blue The only scene I would need to make Would be a rainbow made for two Your little greeting of Aloha Would make the island magic too When I painted a landscape Of paradise for me and you If somebody asked me to throw a luau And invite a special guest or two I guess it wouldn't take much knowhow To know which one to send an invitation to I would only need your address And maybe a stamp or two To invite the one my heart loves best To a luau in paradise for two I always had an ambition To just sail away into the blue And now that you are in my vision I just want to sail away with you If somebody asked me to build a castle I wouldn't need big building blocks or glue An island man could build one of sand That would last a lifetime too I would build it to your design And add a corner tower or two If you would say that you'd be mine I'd build a castle of love for me and you I always had an ambition To just sail away into the blue And now that you are in my vision I just want to sail away with you
Empty Island Love (Larry W.

Nothing In Between (Larry W.

Island Of Yesterday (Larry W.
