I'm Sailin' Home Lani (Larry W. Jones 02/06/2005) (song#3601) Oh, I've been sailin' night and day Sailin' on a summer breeze I'm comin' home from Mandalay Returnin' from the seven seas I'm sailin' home Lani, Lani I'm sailin' home Lani, Lani I'm sailin' home Lani, Lani And I'll ask you to be mine The wahini I love was born in Maui She's adorned with hula hips My heart jumps and shouts wowee Every time I kiss her ruby lips I'm sailin' home Lani, Lani I'm sailin' home Lani, Lani I'm sailin' home Lani, Lani And I'll ask you to be mine Her long black hair flows in the breeze She's the Hawaiian apple of my eye Her sweet voice is oh, so heavenly Just as sweet as pineapple pie I'm sailin' home Lani, Lani I'm sailin' home Lani, Lani I'm sailin' home Lani, Lani And I'll ask you to be mine So, get that wedding party ready I'm heading for a wedding ring It's time for those sweet Maui chimes And everybody's gonna sing I'm sailin' home Lani, Lani I'm sailin' home Lani, Lani I'm sailin' home Lani, Lani And this time I'm gonna make you mine
Sailin' Back To Maui Sand (Larry W. Jones 02/07/2005) (song#3602) Well, there's no doubt that I'll be leavin' There's something about this mainland grievin' But now my heart is feelin' grand The ocean'll be revealin' Maui island sand Gonna trade cold city lights for tiki lights Gonna hold a big luau down by the bay I'm gonna renew my dear old Maui island rights I won't be blue when I get under way Yes, back to old Maui isle I'm returnin' Been too long awhile that I've been yearnin' To see my Maui island home again I can hear steel guitars ringing Hear those birds of paradise singing Sounds sweet as Maui island sugar cane Old talk stories island folks are tellin' Sweet lehua blossoms I'm a-smellin' I'm boardin' that ship for mem'ry lane I'm goin' back, back to Maui That island where I know I belong I'm goin' back, back to Maui Gonna find my love and stroll along Kinfolks there will be glad to see me Dear ol' mom and dad will understand I'll be waving to the palms across the sea Cause I'm sailin' back to Maui sand
I'm In Love And She's In Maui (Larry W. Jones 02/09/2005) (song#3603) Well, I know my face looks kinda long My eyes are focused in a frown I guess my smile is way long gone And here's the reason I'm feelin' down I'm in love and she's in Maui I'm as blue as a cowboy can be I wish I knew if she still loves me Or is her island driftin' away from me I'm in love and she's in Maui Strollin' by that peaceful pacific sea I wonder if an old dream from Texas Can reach all the way to old Maui I thought for sure that I'd a-heard From her in old Lahaina town But so far, I haven't heard a word Since that day when the sun went down Well, I'm over here workin' hard That's the way cowboys are I guess I lost in that regard Tryin' to find my dream and star I'm in love and she's in Maui I'm as blue as a cowboy can be I wish I knew if she still loves me Or is her island driftin' away from me I'm in love and she's in Maui Strollin' by that peaceful pacific sea I wonder if an old dream from Texas Can reach all the way to old Maui
You And I Will Be Just One (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2005) (song#3604) Well, I've told the red lehua flowers That somewhere ahead are happy hours When I stroll in the tradewind air with you And I have to tell you that as a rover My lonesome sailing days are over I'm mailing my heart to only you Yes, I've told the paradise birds I've told the honey bees I've told the palm trees with the words Just how it is that I love you I've told the golden moon I've told the tropic sun I've told the stars that soon You and I will be just one The joy I feel, I've just gotta show To the whole world and isles where tradewinds blow In the shaded little stream I've persuaded the fish there too That it's my wish for this island dream To be shared with only you Yes, I've told the paradise birds I've told the honey bees I've told the palm trees with the words Just how it is that I love you I've told the golden moon I've told the tropic sun I've told the stars that soon You and I will be just one
Thorn Of The Rose (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2005) (song#3605) Here I stroll on the isle of Alohaland Where breakers roll, I'm all alone Tradewinds call, but I don't understand Oh, if I had only known Honey bees and the snow white tuberose Whisper of a love that once was true But as I stroll here where the tradewind blows There's no greeting of Aloha from you Sweet as a tuberose was my love for you But you drifted away with the tide My one big regret is that I can't forget How you took away my joy and my pride Once we strolled together here in Hawaii blue But Aloha 'oe said that we must part The sweet tuberose of the isle, it was you Now, as your love goes, a thorn of the rose Grows here in my heart
Many Leagues Of Open Sea (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2005) (song#3606) This eve, I watch the golden sands Fade as I sail for foreign lands At the rail I wring my nervous hands For love that was never meant to be Tomorrow, many leagues of open sea Will lie between your love and me Tomorrow, many leagues of open sea Will lie between your love and me Your lips I kissed and felt your hair My heart was trembling standing there Aloha was a word so soft and fair Please wait for my return, is my plea Tomorrow, many leagues of open sea Will lie between your love and me Tomorrow, many leagues of open sea Will lie between your love and me Oh, please say our wait won't be in vain Each hour will be of woe and pain Until I return to your isle again To reclaim a love not meant to be Tomorrow, many leagues of open sea Will lie between your love and me Tomorrow, many leagues of open sea Will lie between your love and me
In Warm Hawaiian Sand (Larry W. Jones 02/12/2005) (song#3607) Far across the wide pacific sea The tide will bring your love to me Hear tradewinds calling tenderly Calling your sweet love for me In warm Hawaiian sand In warm Hawaiian sand Underneath the palms You and I will roam In warm Hawaiian sand In warm Hawaiian sand Underneath the moon We'll make our island home Sail this ship along Over oceans blue Rainbows will shine so strong With every shade and hue There my love awaits With love so true I'll be in warm Hawaiian sand Along with you In warm Hawaiian sand In warm Hawaiian sand Underneath the palms You and I will roam In warm Hawaiian sand In warm Hawaiian sand Underneath the moon We'll make our island home
Our Island Of Dreams (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2005)(song#3608) Whenever my heart feels low and sad And this old world is cold with chill I hear your sweet voice and I'm so glad When you tell me that you love me still I love to just sit and talk to you About oceans and valley streams And sweet flowers wet with dew On the island of our dreams On that lovely island of our dreams Sorrow is never spoken of, nor pain Troubles aren't allowed there, it seems For there are rainbows through the rain Let's leave this old world with its cold and chill And sail away to where the sunlight gleams Far over the sea we'll go, you and me To home sweet home on our island of dreams
Little Grass Shanty Shack (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2005) (song#3609) I've climbed the corporate ladder with the best But it's time to head back out to sea Gonna shed this life for a little rest On an island that I love best And the place I'm thinkin' of is old Maui I know it's only a little shanty shack A penny ante place in old Lahaina town But nothing can replace my going back To that little grass shanty shack I've found Soon I'll be setting sails and tack Back to the pale moonlight shining down On that slanty roof of my little grass shanty shack Over in old Lahaina town I've lived like a king with money and everything But happiness is what money couldn't bring I'll find a wahine honey I can give my kingly crown In my little grass shanty shack in old Lahaina town I know it's only a little shanty shack A penny ante place in old Lahaina town But nothing can replace my going back To that little grass shanty shack I've found I'll find a wahine honey I can give my kingly crown In my little grass shanty shack in old Lahaina town
Honolulu And Waikiki (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2005) (song#3610) The moon shines down on Honolulu and Waikiki Over on that island in the sea My thoughts come around to that ukulele sound Over in old dreamy Hawaii Dream away, my polynesian lady Try to dream a little dream of me You're still supreme in my island themes When I dream of Honolulu and Waikiki The same old tropic moon shines over there Over Honolulu and Waikiki Those same ukulele tunes still fill the air Always calling back to me Dream away, my polynesian lady Try to dream a little dream of me You're still supreme in my island themes When I dream of Honolulu and Waikiki Every night still brings the song she sings When we bid Aloha 'oe goodbye Tradewinds still bring that ukulele ring That makes my lonely heart still sigh Dream away, my polynesian lady Try to dream a little dream of me You're still supreme in my island themes When I dream of Honolulu and Waikiki
How To Buy Paradise (Larry W. Jones 02/13/2005) (song#3611) A tall Texan from Dallas arrived in Hawaii's fair isles He looked at Oahu with a gleam and a smile I think I'll buy it, and then here I'll abide Just how to do it, someone told him with pride First, you'll have to buy the moon up above Also, try to buy tropical stars in the skies Then you must buy a mother's ohana love Only then can you buy paradise God up above created this place with a smile The mountains, the valleys, rainbows in the skies If you can buy heavenly things that beguile Only then can you buy paradise God up above created this place with a smile The mountains, the valleys, rainbows in the skies If you can buy heavenly things that beguile Only then can you buy paradise
Golden Sands Of Home (Larry W. Jones 02/14/2005) (song#3612) My island home still looks the same The tropic sun's a setting flame And there to meet me is makuahine, makua kane Down the shore runs sweet Kalani Flowing hair and lips like honey It's good to stroll the golden sands of home The tradewinds called them there to meet me Holding hand in hand so sweetly It's good to stroll the golden sands of home The little cottage is so inviting When the tiki flames are being lighted And there's that old pandanus tree I carved her name on On the shore I'll stroll with sweet Kalani Flowing hair and lips like honey It's good to stroll the golden sands of home Then I awake and all around me Sad faces I know surround me Paradise was only in my dreamin' The captain and my mates sail o'er the foam Into the harbor we'll sail at dawn Oh, how I wish to stroll the golden sands of home Yes, they'll all gather there to meet me In the shade of that green pandanus tree As they lay me 'neath The golden sands of home

That Tahitian Polynesian Sea (Larry W.

Aloha Mai In Waikiki (Larry W. Jones 02/14/2005) (song#3616) Aloha mai, was what she said to me Aloha mai, on the shores of Waikiki My world was blue, blue as the sea But Aloha mai sounded as friendly as can be She was one in a million, or even more Her E Komo Mai welcomed me to her shore She seemed to hesitate, seemed to wait for me On that Hawaiian isle, I lingered with her awhile Her Aloha mai with her Aloha smile Was all that paradise should be Aloha mai, from this lovely island miss Aloha mai, and I stole a little kiss Her sweet smile was expressed in island style And her Aloha mai filled my heart with bliss But it wasn't only what she said That still rings here in my head With her hula sway, she stole my heart away And the rest, I guess you can guess We strolled together hand in hand In that Waikiki island sand And when I asked if she would marry me She said, Aloha mai, we'll see And I took that to be her answer yes In blue Hawaii, beneath those starry skies I didn't know the lingo, but it was in her eyes Aloha mai, and E Ke Aloha sounded grand Where tradewinds blow, my heart went bingo Over in Hawaii's Waikiki golden sand
In The Blue Hawaiian Evening (Larry W.

Under The Red Lehua Tree (Larry W. Jones 02/20/2005) (song#3618) Under the red lehua tree Love in your brown eyes I could see And the sound that I heard I found had my heart stirred As tradewinds whispered love beside the sea As I heard, once more, the call of the sea Under the red lehua tree, you said to me These words of love that I'm stating are so true And I promise I'll be waiting here for you Under the red lehua tree As soft as the buzz of the bee As sweet as lehua blossoms by the sea So will be our love eternally I promise that to you I will be true And that soon I'll come sailing back to you Under the red lehua tree Love in your brown eyes I could see And the sound that I heard I found had my heart stirred As tradewinds whispered love beside the sea As I heard, once more, the call of the sea Under the red lehua tree, you said to me These words of love that I'm stating are so true And I promise I'll be waiting here for you Under the red lehua tree
In My Heart (Larry W.

Steel Guitars Pickup Trucks (Larry W. Jones 02/20/2004) (song#3620) Girl, you taught this Texas cowboy How to face the future feelin' glad I'm no longer sad You showed me how Lahaina town can turn up dreams It's a lesson of how a Texan's feet Can be transplanted in the ocean streams And how a taste of pineapple pie Could turn out to be so sweet Now it's steel guitars, pickup trucks, Hawaiian music And you, that keeps this Hawaiian cowboy Hangin' on across the foam Yeah, it's steel guitars, pickup trucks, Hawaiian music Old Lahaina town is where I now call home I left behind the glamour of that big mainland That seemed to only waste my life Mainland scars are healing in this warm Hawaiian sand Ever since you said you'd be my wife Now it's steel guitars, pickup trucks, Hawaiian music And you, that keeps this Hawaiian cowboy Hangin' on across the foam Yeah, it's steel guitars, pickup trucks, Hawaiian music Old Lahaina town is where I now call home Now it's steel guitars, pickup trucks, Hawaiian music And you, that keeps this Hawaiian cowboy Hangin' on across the foam Yeah, it's steel guitars, pickup trucks, Hawaiian music Old Lahaina town is where I now call home
Strolling Through My Mind (Larry W. Jones 02/20/2005) (song#3621) Every time she goes strolling through my mind She brings back those same old memories Every night in the dim light I always find How I lack the happiness of her island seas Like a rhyme, half passed nine, she's right on time Every time she goes strolling through my mind It's taking a toll each and every time Every time I hear those same sweet Maui chimes I shed a tear over dreams that seem sublime Every time she goes strolling through my mind There's no use to try to drown it in some wine Cause I'd still see her strolling through Lahaina town Dreams come rolling even though she's not around Every time she goes strolling through my mind Like a rhyme, half passed nine, she's right on time Every time she goes strolling through my mind It's taking a toll each and every time Dreams come rolling even though she's not around Every time she goes strolling through my mind
Tradewinds And Sunshine (Larry W. Jones 02/20/2005) (song#3622) People say that every life will know When the raindrops fall But only the rainbows are falling in mine People say that every heart will know When teardrops fall But I only know the tradewinds and sunshine Island folks can choose to keep the blues from their heart And I refuse to let those dark clouds start Some people show that only rain and tears combine But I only know the tradewinds and sunshine Spoken: People say that every life will know When the raindrops fall But only the rainbows are falling in mine People say that every heart will know When teardrops fall But I only know the tradewinds and sunshine Island folks can choose to keep the blues from their heart And I refuse to let those dark clouds start Some people show that only rain and tears combine But I only know the tradewinds and sunshine
The Life Of Riley (Larry W. Jones 02/20/2005) (song#3623) Valley streams run with claret fine In palm trees sing the yellow canary The bays are filled with tidal wine All to make your heart feel merry And there is even more than this That you can behold Waterfalls all flow with brandy And just in case you should miss Beaches are made of refined gold And fields of cane are sugar candy There's nothing but sunny days And island music without measure I can only speak with praise Of this island and its treasure And there is even more than this That you can behold Waterfalls all flow with brandy And just in case you should miss Beaches are made of refined gold And fields of cane are sugar candy It's here that I lead a lazy life The life of Riley, free from labor By the way, don't tell my wife She'd go and tell the neighbor
Down To The Shores Of Tahiti (Larry W. Jones 02/20/2005) (song#3624) The southern star will be my guide As I sail away on the summer tide Just like a bird before the wind I sail for southern shores again There's no other sounds around Save for the waves o're which I bound In the distance I hear the fading roar Of another island and another shore From night til morn I'll sail the sea Til I reach the shores of Tahiti From night til morn I'll sail the sea Til I reach the shores of Tahiti The mainland is not the place for me It has not the music of the sea Out on the sea's where I belong Sailing in the breeze all day long The song is soft from across the deep Summer sea winds 'oft make me sleep I give thanks for weather warm and calm To Him who rules the calm and storm Oh, how sweet to sail on the summer sea Down to the shores of Tahiti Oh, how sweet to sail on the summer sea Down to the shores of Tahiti
Down Along The Island Sand (Larry W. Jones 02/21/2005) (song#3625) Somewhere in my fondest dreams Down along the island sand I'm kissing again, missing again Someone down along the island sand It all happened by old Hana bay Seems like a short time ago I met a new love by old Hana bay Down where the tradewinds blow Steel guitars and tropic stars And lips as sweet as wine A heart was broken there in time And one of them I know was mine It all happened by old Hana bay I never even thought about it twice I left her there and sailed away Sailed away from her and paradise My empty heart sings a broken song Of a love that could be mine today If I was still there where I belong Down along the island sand by Hana bay
Friendly Aloha Way (Larry W. Jones 02/21/2005) (song#3626) You can feel the tradewinds blow Wherever you may go Whatever you may do Just spread a little Aloha when you go Look for that rainbow In your skies of blue It doesn't cost a lot Like a brand new costly yacht But it goes that extra mile Every time you smile and say Aloha E Komo Mai You're a pretty girl, or a handsome guy It's the friendly Aloha way Give a helping hand when trouble's near They'll understand and find some cheer It doesn't cost a lot Like a brand new costly yacht But it goes that extra mile Every time you smile and say Aloha E Komo Mai You're a pretty girl, or a handsome guy It's the friendly Aloha way
Lehua Blossom Time (Larry W. Jones 02/21/2005) (song#3627) Those red buds will soon be lehua blossoms Island blue birds will sing by the sea Springtime and the moon should be awesome So, why won't true love bloom for me There's no sweet Maui chimes In lehua blossom time The tropic sunshine doesn't smile On a love no longer there There's no sweet Maui chimes In lehua blossom time Cause here on this golden isle Aloha love's not in the air Notes of island love, it seems Have departed from the old mill stream Brokenhearted is now the theme Of my empty island dreams I know I would hear sweet Maui chimes In lehua blossom time If only you'd be there So I could place a lehua blossom in your hair
It Might As Well Be Paradise (Larry W. Jones 02/21/2005) (song#3628) I'm as unsteady as a ship in a gale I'm as batty as a bat when it flies I know island fever very well But I didn't know this was paradise My eyes are filled with stars, I can tell Every time the moon's on the rise Island fever fills the air Just like the tradewind fills a sail It's akin to isles of paradise It just occured that my mind's a little blurred As I'm strolling slowly by the bay Island fever is severe from words that I still hear From an island girl I met just yesterday I'm now occupied in being so tongue tied That I need someone to offer me advice This island fever that I've got Well, I like it quite a lot It might as well be paradise This island fever that I've got Well, I like it quite a lot It might as well be paradise
My Heart Only Hurts When It Cries (Larry W. Jones 02/21/2005) (song#3629) The only time it don't feel right Is in the daytime and at night And I never think of you at all Except for when the islands call The truth is I don't tell many lies My heart only hurts when it cries Once in a while I still can smile But not like I did back on the isle The money I make, I find I spend On a broken heart that time won't mend At times it feels like a big earthquake Every time I feel the pieces break The only time it don't feel right Is in the daytime and at night And I never think of you at all Except for when the islands call The truth is I don't tell many lies My heart only hurts when it cries Yesterday when I heard the soft tradewind My heart had an earthquake again But nobody else could even see These chains that won't set me free Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever survive And if a new love will never arrive The only time it don't feel right Is in the daytime and at night And I never think of you at all Except for when the islands call The truth is I don't tell many lies My heart only hurts when it cries The truth is I don't tell many lies My heart only hurts when it cries
Only A Monemt In Time (Larry W. Jones 02/21/2005) (song#3630) It took several hundred years To settle islands where soft tradewinds blow But it only took one moonlight clear To fall in love with you, I know It took days and days of tropic sunshine To grow island flowers fresh and new But it only took a moment in time To tell my heart that I'm in love with you No, I didn't have to spend a lifetime To comprehend a dream come true It only took those sweet Maui chimes To compose a song of love for you A million stars up there still shine In a tropical sky of velvet blue And I'm so glad that you're now mine This moment will last til time is through It took days and days of tropic sunshine To grow island flowers fresh and new But it only took a moment in time To tell my heart that I'm in love with you A million stars up there still shine In a tropical sky of velvet blue And I'm so glad that you're now mine This moment will last til time is through
Amanda Ramona Marie (Larry W. Jones 02/22/2005) (song#3631) In a sleepy Texas seaside town On the gulf of Mexico There's a lovely senorita nice and brown That I love so Amanda Ramona Marie In Corpus Christi she's waiting for me Amanda Ramona Marie My lovely senorita by the sea I'll return to that Texas coast someday On the gulf of Mexico For there on Corpus Christi bay Amanda waits for me, I know Amanda Ramona Marie In my arms I'll hold you once again Please wait for me until then My Amanda Ramona Marie Amanda Ramona Marie In my arms I'll hold you once again Please wait for me until then My Amanda Ramona Marie
This Sad Song (Larry W. Jones 02/22/2005) (song#3632) Once upon a time Someone special came along Your feet were strolling next to mine It was like an island song The tropic moon was up above Up there where it belongs Shining down on hearts in love It was like an island song That whole year I dearly remember As tears fall on love's dying ember It was such a lovely year How I wish that island song was here It was like an island song But now it's gone into the night My broken heart will only last as long As this sad song that I now have to write It was like an island song But now it's gone into the night My broken heart will only last as long As this sad song that I now have to write
