Sunshine (Larry W. Jones 10/06/2002) (song#401) When she wakes me and I hold her in the morn I know our love this day is just reborn Then she smiles at me and says my name She's the sunshine through my window pane The way she laughs and how she cries Tells me that she has no disguise The way she cares, and how she shares Shows the beauty of her loving care She fills my life with ecstasy That means more than life, her love I see Fame and wealth could not compare With this love that we both share When I look around and love is sure I know love like ours will endure Like islands in the stream of time Ours will let love flow, her's and mine When I look around and love is sure I know love like ours will endure Like islands in the stream of time Ours will let love flow, her's and mine

Tradewinds Told Me So (Larry W. Jones 10/07/2002) (song#403) I know that you love me Because the tradewinds told me so I know that you love me By the way love shows I can clearly see The look of love from you to me The value of your sweet love is majesty You know I want you I love to tell you so I would never make you cry Or never ever say goodbye I can clearly see The look of love from you to me The value of your sweet love is majesty I love the good times that we've had Even the blue times when we were sad Time with you is heaven sent Not a day would I lament I know that you love me Because the tradewinds told me so I know that you love me By the way love shows I can clearly see The look of love from you to me The value of your sweet love is majesty
For Dear Hawaii (Larry W. Jones 10/07/2002) (song#404) Listen close to that far off singing From islands in the distant sea Hear the music from sea shells ringing From shores of peaceful islands, these Blue are the skies just as is the ocean High are the mountains' majestic sight Tradewinds play with palm trees motion And bring the songs of love's delight From afar I hear my islands call to me Lands I have seen but now I must return My islands there have heard my plea For dear Hawaii my heart does ever burn Hear the ocean boom against the reef Beauty there is almost beyond belief Watch the shorebirds in that tropic zone From my islands may I never roam Blue are the skies just as is the ocean High are the mountains' majestic sight Tradewinds play with palm trees motion And bring the songs of love's delight From afar I hear my islands call to me Lands I have seen but now I must return My islands there have heard my plea For dear Hawaii my heart does ever burn
Breath Of Love (Larry W. Jones 10/07/2002) (song#405) Here is the breath of love softly breathing So gentle and so sweetly from the start When it touches me it is so pleasing This breath of love that warms my heart You, my love, share with me these tender moments While tradewinds whisper love upon this isle Here is the breath of love softly breathing Like the gentle rain in Palolo valley May there never be, my love, a finale Of this breath of love that warms my heart Here is the fragrance of the tuberose Like a cool, soft breeze it lingers close Soft winds have brought your love to me Warming me with gentle feelings, these You, my love, share with me these tender moments While tradewinds whisper love upon this isle Here is the breath of love softly breathing Birds of paradise have taken wing Bringing again the breath of love to find me Warmed by your voice my heart does sing Bringing again the breath of love to find me Warmed by your voice my heart does sing
Heart Of Molokai (Larry W. Jones 10/07/2002) (song#406) The island of Molokai knows no strangers She welcomes you with love and open heart Come and see the solitude of Wailau Her misty rain will beauty to you impart Give ear to the power of the Molokai sea Walk the dunes along the verdant hills Kainalu is a place on earth for love to be With perfumed lipoa scent may be you filled There is no end to the beauty of Kalaupapa Molokai welcomes you with open heart When you come you will say Aloha 'aha Be not a stranger to this paradise afar Come and see the solitude of Wailau Her misty rain will beauty to you impart The island of Molokai knows no strangers She welcomes you with love and open heart Molokai knows no strangers Come to her and bring your heart
Akaka Falls Legend (Larry W. Jones 10/07/2002) (song#407) Akaka lived beside the waterfall So says the legend of renown From high above the cliffs so tall The water flowed gently down The water flowed gently down Kiha his cousin offended him Over the falls he was condemned The red-brown pohaku stone still lays At the bottom of Akaka falls today At the bottom of Akaka falls today Akaka was a rascal kolohe god Over friends he ran roughshod His kanewahini wife found him alone With Lehua and Maile as his own With Lehua and Maile as his own With his ilio dog he ran close to the edge Slipped and fell into Kiha's grave Ilio and kanewahini turned into stone For his actions then he did atone For his actions then he did atone Lehua and Maile's future would be grief For Akaka they both would forever weep Both Akaka's lovers became little waterfalls Tears today they still shed at Akaka falls Tears today they still shed at Akaka falls
Mokihana Mele (Larry W. Jones 10/07/2002) (song#408) My thoughts return again to you, my love My sweetheart, I cherish you tonight Of love for you are my thoughts thereof You alone are my heart's delight So beautiful and lovely a dream are you In wonder I glance as you lie in view Entwined with fragrant mokihana sweet You bring to my life your love complete None there are to compare with you With beauty of angels are you imbued Like the maile blossom fresh with dew Each night will we our love renew Let the mele be told as though brand new My sweetheart I hold my heart for you So cherished this night and for all time Sheltered with you in love sublime
Dreams Upon The Sea (Larry W. Jones 10/08/2002) (song#409) Rolling are the dreams on this moonlit night Coming like the waves gently on the shore My heart speaks of love both true and bright Our love is new and it is you whom I adore Enchanting is your love like stars above Moonlit rendezvous of dreams and love Your sweet melody this night is pleasing me Like the rolling of the dreams upon the sea Here under swaying coco palms with you I see dreams of tropic beauty coming true Listen as the curling waves roll on and on So too will be our love with each new dawn The rhythm of Hawaiian steel guitars Bring music for our dreams of love The yellow moon and brightly shining stars Give blessings from the heavens up above Enchanting is your love like stars above Moonlit rendezvous of dreams and love Your sweet melody this night is pleasing me Like the rolling of the dreams upon the sea Like the rolling of the dreams upon the sea
Blessed Kauai (Larry W. Jones 10/08/2002) (song#410) An island blessed there is that I must see Lovely is this garden island in the sea To me she calls again with majesty Beautiful Kauai, lovely garden in the sea Feel the misty cool Fern Grotto dew There time and nature quiet and alone The waterfalls of Wailua daily do renew Childhood places where I used to roam Many are the places where I played Beauty everywhere like Hanalei bay Most of all is the beauty from above My dear family and their ohana love Soon to this my isle shall I return To my Kauai, garden island in the sea For her does my heart tenderly yearn In Kauai is where my love waits for me
Beyond The Moonlight (Larry W.

September Ginger Lei (Larry W. Jones 10/08/2002) (song#412) Many are the things that I remember The yellow dress you wore that september The blossom of the fragrant tuberose How the wind through your hair flows In your hair was a yellow ginger lei A most memorable night We strolled along the sand Beneath the yellow moon's soft light The tradewinds for us were softly blowing It was like the winds of love were knowing Many are the things that I remember That time in each other's arms we spent It was in sweet september Your kiss was from heaven sent Yes, it was in that sweet september And in my mind will always stay Many things that I remember Like your yellow ginger lei
Girl Of Golden Dreams (Larry W. Jones 10/08/2002) (song#413) In a little seaside cafe, not by plans In Old Lahaina Town by island sands Something in my life is new it seems There was Leilani, island girl of dreams Suddenly guitars played love songs I heard the tradewinds sing along An angel from heaven drifted down To be mine in Old Lahaina Town My life will never be the same Sweet Leilani is her name I held her in my arms that day In that Old Lahaina Town cafe There is where my happiness began In that seaside cafe by island sands An angel from heaven drifted down To be mine in Old Lahaina Town Leilani, island girl of dreams Leilani, my girl of golden dreams
I Ride To The Rio (Larry W. Jones 10/08/2002) (song#414) I ride to the Rio, across the river grand There I will find peace that only I understand The trails we have traveled led us afar Now they must end for she's made her choice I ride to the Rio, along with my dreams It was I she released, an isle in the stream When three hearts are beating the same love song Only two can survive while one stands alone O where can I go, what can I do You have the one whom my heart loves too My heart is weary with this heavy load Ahead is the river, the Rio, and old Mexico I ride to the Rio, across the river grand My life will be empty but I understand I ride to the Rio to obey love's command It is you she has chosen and given her hand I ride to the Rio, along with my dreams It was I she released, an isle in the stream When three hearts are beating the same love song Only two can survive while one stands alone I ride to the Rio, across the river grand There I will find peace that only I understand I ride to the Rio to obey love's command It is you she has chosen and given her hand

A New Flower Lei (Larry W.

Yesterday's Souvenier (Larry W. Jones 10/08/2002) (song#419) A treasure I have kept for many years I guess it's now just a souvenier A post card from Hawaii I received that day Yesterday when you went away Every time I open up that old picture book I always know just where to look The pages are all worn since that first day Yesterday when you went away The envelope still has a faint perfume Reminds me of that day we met in June Hawaii was our isle of tropic fantasy I've kissed you time again in my agony Somehow some day you will understand How deep was my love for you in Aloha land A post card from Hawaii I received that day Yesterday when you went away A treasure I have kept for many years I guess it's now just a souvenier A post card from Hawaii I received that day Yesterday when you went away
Another Yellow Ginger Lei (Larry W.

Beauty Of Hawaii (Larry W. Jones 10/08/2002) (song#421) I sit and listen to the notes from the ukelele And hum along to the music of the steel guitar Just by myself tonight I watch the moonlight And smile to myself and wish upon a star Here the daytime sky is blue just like the ocean Clouds of beauty wrap around the mountain peaks Waves crash upon the reef like jewels in motion With songs of love the balmy tradewind speaks Green mountain valleys welcome rain from the storm Rainbows shine their love when the sun is reborn Through the lofty trees fly the birds of paradise No wonder I smile for such beauty has no price When you dance the hula with arms raised to Hawaii You will sing from your heart her praise meant to be Take but a moment and listen to eternity The beauty of Hawaii is here for you and me
Call Of Hawaii (Larry W. Jones 10/09/2002) (song#422) The call of Hawaii is a melody of love She calls to me when her I'm thinking of This isle across the sea each day as twilight falls Serenades the lovers at Waikiki as I recall The sand and the surf merge together endlessly How I recall the urge to sing there by the sea I wish I could be with you there in the moonlight Hand in hand in the sand with you, dear tonight The call of Hawaii pulls at the strings of my heart The same way when I was with you sweetheart When you dream be sure to dream one for me I will answer the call and my love I will see The call of Hawaii pulls at the strings of my heart The same way when I was with you sweetheart When you dream be sure to dream one for me I will answer the call and my love I will see

Never The Same (Larry W.

Island Time Dreaming (Larry W.

I found Hollywood dreams were too complex I knew I had to paddle my canoe Back to the islands from which I flew California dreaming was not not for me I had to get back to my islands in the sea Santa Monica freeway won't give you time To dream of island time Dreaming of island time Scheming my returning time Found out I couldn't make the most On that sunny California coast Dreaming of island time Dreaming of island time

Chores To Do (Larry W.

Sailing Against The Wind (Larry W.

Because Your Love (Larry W. Jones 10/13/2002) (song#434) When I look into your eyes I see love that's deep When I kiss your lips I'm yours to love and keep You're the thrill that sends that tingle up my spine Jack and Jill didn't fall as far as my heart fell this time Because your love is fine When I say that I need you, you know it's true Every day I concede that my love grows for you There's nothing missing, no need for fishing around The lips I'm kissing keeps my feet off of the ground Because your love I've found It's true that when I say my love for you is strong For you it's been the dream I've dreamed so long It's like a violin that seems to play on and on Love songs for two from night until the dawn Because your love I've known It's true that when I say my love for you is strong For you it's been the dream I've dreamed so long It's like a violin that seems to play on and on Love songs for two from night until the dawn Because your love is fine Because your love I've found Because your love I've known
Opposites Attract (Larry W. Jones 10/14/2002) (song#435) It doesn't matter whether the world is flat or round Or even if whatever goes up never comes down Opposites attract and that's what matters the most Whether you're in Hawaii and I'm on the coast If the world were flat instead of being round We would love each other with our feet flat on the ground If there's something up that never comes down It would be our happiness that never could frown Opposites attract just like your love and mine If black were white and white were black We would stay awake in the dark nighttime Love away the day in our little gress shack It doesn't matter whether the world is flat or round Or even if whatever goes up never comes down Opposites attract and that's what matters the most Whether you're in Hawaii and I'm on the coast Opposites attract just like your love and mine If black were white and white were black We would stay awake in the dark nighttime Love away the day in our little gress shack Opposites attract a lot in our little grass shack
She's My Dream (Larry W.

Like Paradise (Larry W. Jones 11/16/2002) (song#589) Hear that tropic tradewind blow It sounds like paradise That steel guitar is playing slow Light of love is in your eyes Never have I felt a night like this Birds of paradise go flying by The moon is full and you I kiss Your love, my heart can't deny I stroll with you down by the sea When night begins to fall Here is where my heart longs to be I can hear Hawaii call That steel guitar is playing slow Stars light up the tropic skies Our love will in these islands grow You are my love in paradise
Horizons Behind (Larry W. Jones 11/16/2002) (song#590) I've been sailing oceans deep Counting fathoms instead of sheep Where islands have gone I cannot say Horizons behind where islands slipped away I've been drifting through the stream Of salty days and worn out dreams Telling stories of islands I used to know Those dreams over the horizon so long ago Dreams today are of yesterday Now I'm sailing against the wind Islands in the stream are far away In horizons behind lost like a friend Now I feel the cold wind in the sails I know my life was just stormy gales The answers of islands in the stream Are in horizons that are made of dreams Dreams today are of yesterday Now I'm sailing against the wind Islands in the stream are far away In horizons behind lost like a friend The finest oceans on the tropic scene Are the ones with islands in between The horizon ahead and the one behind It's the only one where rainbows shine Dreams today are of yesterday Now I'm sailing against the wind Islands in the stream are far away In horizons behind lost like a friend Dreams today are of yesterday Now I'm sailing against the wind Islands in the stream are far away In horizons behind lost like a friend
Kapuna Kane's Ways (Larry W. Jones 11/16/2002) (song#591) He fishes from an outrigger canoe all day It's the island way His skin is brown from the island sun He's an island native son But on his face he always has a smile It's Aloha from a tropic isle He told me about hurricane Iniki of '92 How the winds blew over Kauai too Beneath that blue Hawaiian sky Kapuna Kane told me all about the island days Beneath that blue Hawaiian sky I remember what my grandpa had to say Sometimes he talks about Kapuna Wahini's grace That's the only time his smile might disappear He describes how she had a smiling face As he wipes away a tear He was raised on fish and poi from a taro patch His outrigger canoe was loaded with his catch Kapuna Kane lived a simple life in paradise I will miss his island ways and heed his advice Beneath that blue Hawaiian sky Kapuna Kane told me all about the island days Beneath that blue Hawaiian sky I remember what my grandpa had to say Beneath that blue Hawaiian sky Kapuna Kane told me all about the island days Beneath that blue Hawaiian sky I remember what my grandpa had to say
Cashed In Texas (Larry W. Jones 11/16/2002) (song#592) All my checks are cashed in Texas And Hawaii is the place I'd clearly like to be But all my checks are cashed in Texas And that's why I can't move to Hawaii I'm overdrawn in San Antone My well went bust instead of boom Sweetwater has a daughter Who thinks I can buy the moon Eileen has made my paycheck lean I'm in the red instead of green And now they're tearing down the Astrodome Can't even call the parking lot my home All my checks are cashed in Texas And Hawaii is the place I'd clearly like to be But all my checks are cashed in Texas And that's why I can't move to Hawaii I think my fate has gone down the river Don't know if I can stay in the Lone Star state Instead of eatin' shrimp, I'm eatin' liver All my money's tied up in probate In my dreams I set sail for Hawaii It sure is a beautiful sight But then my dreams just sail away from me Something in this picture just ain't right All my checks are cashed in Texas And Hawaii is the place I'd clearly like to be But all my checks are cashed in Texas And that's why I can't move to Hawaii Some people still think I've got money But let me tell you honey I don't think I'll ever get to Hawaii
The Mana Of Your Love (Larry W. Jones 11/16/2002) (song#593) Your Aloha love keeps me happy all the time My dream has been answered like a prayer Polynesian eyes sparkle like the stars that shine I feel the mana of your love beyond compare You make the rainbows shine in skies of blue When I'm with you then love is in the air Every day you bring Aloha love to me anew I feel the mana of your love beyond compare Your love is like the flow of evening tide Your love is what I take to heart with care Love like yours could never be denied I feel the mana of your love beyond compare When night has come and you're in moonlight I smell the fragrance of the flower in your hair Your Aloha love for me is one of earth's delights I feel the mana of your love beyond compare
Lahaina Bay Hula (Larry W. Jones 11/17/2002) (song#594) Where the tourists play and the hulas sway And the fun goes gaily at the island hop I sailed away to a tropic day When I got to Hawaii the anchor dropped Here they say in Lahaina bay Aloha to you, it's the island way The girls are brown, the never wear a frown I met a hula girl in Lahaina town The girls wear flowers in their hair They dance the hula where tradewinds blow I can't compare here with anywhere The Aloha here isn't just for show Here they say in Lahaina bay Aloha to you, it's the island way The girls are brown, the never wear a frown I met a hula girl in Lahaina town Down at the beach any time of year Hula girls dance and the island boys cheer Fish and poi is really nice And they even have Hinano Tahiti beer Here they say in Lahaina bay Aloha to you, it's the island way The girls are brown, the never wear a frown I met a hula girl in Lahaina town
By Those Hawaiian Shores (Larry W. Jones 11/17/2002) (song#595) Many tropic moons have come and gone Since I sailed from my island home In those Hawaiian isles Where I was born Many a tiki torch has gaily burned Many are the times that I have yearned To paddle my canoe back Where I belong Way over yonder in deep blue ocean I Paddle my canoe to the local motion By those Hawaiian shores where I was born Way over yonder in deep blue ocean An island boy's life is a deep emotion By those Hawaiian shores where I was born I don't fit here anyway My dreams are miles and miles away From where I paddled my canoe Through that moonlit bay Where the pandanus and the coco palm trees Play in the tropic tradewind breeze In those island sands Where I belong Way over yonder in deep blue ocean I Paddle my canoe to the local motion By those Hawaiian shores where I was born Way over yonder in deep blue ocean An island boy's life is a deep emotion By those Hawaiian shores where I was born
Fast Then Just Go Slow (Larry W. Jones 11/17/2002) (song#596) There's a bird flying in a paradise It flies through the coco palms so high It sings the songs I want to hear Like songs of love when you are near I want to sing you a song of paradise I want to see the tropic stars in your eyes I want you to know that I love you so I want our love to grow fast then just go slow Summer is the time for moonlit nights Southern skies ablaze with stars in flight Paradise and you make up heaven for me The smile upon your face is just heavenly I want to sing you a song of paradise I want to see the tropic stars in your eyes I want you to know that I love you so I want our love to grow fast then just go slow I want to sing you a song of paradise I want to see the tropic stars in your eyes I want you to know that I love you so I want our love to grow fast then just go slow
Song Of My Dreams (Larry W. Jones 11/17/2002) (song#597) As I dream in my sleep before the dawning I hear a song I heard yesterday I grope for you here but you are gone and The song of my dreams goes away So hard is the pain of the dreams that I'm seeing Your embrace seems so real to me My love for you is such that you surround My dreams with a voice of ecstacy Songs that I sing In my dreams with the moon Are just burning my heart anew So I dream in my sleep before the dawning And the hush of the night makes me cry But the dreams of your face just keep spawning The song of my dreams that says goodbye Now as you go on your way to some love that's new Still, after the dawning, I still dream of you So I dream in my sleep before the dawning And the hush of the night makes me cry But the dreams of your face just keep spawning The song of my dreams that says goodbye Now as you go on your way to some love that's new Still, after the dawning, I still dream of you
