From A King To Number Two (Larry W. Jones 12/31/2002) (song#801) From a king to number two From happiness somehow I'm missing you The ace I played was stolen by a jack or two I'm not the king of your heart From a king to number two I can't forget how black it was that night A younger buck played his hand just right I'm not the king of your heart It must have been your smile He knew that he would win the game That's when I knew that I would lose my paradise From a king to number two From happiness somehow I'm missing you The ace I played was stolen by a jack or two I'm not the king of your heart It must have been your smile He knew that he would win the game That's when I knew that I would lose my paradise From a king to number two From happiness somehow I'm missing you The ace I played was stolen by a jack or two I'm not the king of your heart
How Could You (Larry W. Jones 12/31/2002) (song#802) I heard an island yarn You were seen in Waikiki again I know you mean no harm But where is that love we had back then I wonder what to do I can't seem to get over you I thought our love was true How could you turn Hawaiian dreams to blue I hope within my heart that you will still be true Even as the teardrops start, I'm still in love with you I wonder what to do I can't seem to get over you I thought our love was true How could you turn Hawaiian dreams to blue

Listen To Your Heart (Larry W. Jones 12/31/2002) (song#804) You look like you're feeling all alone I know how it is when feeling low On an island fill your heart with song You're not just an island in the stream I know Tradewinds don't whisper love to you alone As it flows on to the sea You and I don't have to be alone Let's just listen to our hearts and see A warm isle is made for love So is a heart in need There's no need to be alone Let's just listen to our hearts and see Whatever the past has done Welcome to my island sun If your heart is on the run Listen to your heart and let me be the one Tradewinds don't whisper love to you alone As it flows on to the sea You and I don't have to be alone Let's just listen to our hearts and see Whatever the past has done Welcome to my island sun If your heart is on the run Listen to your heart and let me be the one
An Island Woman's Love (Larry W. Jones 12/31/2002) (song#805) Nothing can compare to an island woman's love For I'm an island man, and I never feel alone or blue So, if you have an island love, an island woman true Then thank the stars above, and you be thankful too Let her ever know, your love forever show Be true to her in every deed and way I'm sure you already know You need her love each night and day Nothing can compare to an island woman's love Because an island man is not an island in the stream Let her be the one you're always thinking of Each island day and every night you dream Her heart will show that she's grateful When you tell her I love you There's no cause to be unfaithful Just be thankful she's your dream come true Nothing can compare to an island woman's love For I'm an island man, and I never feel alone or blue So, if you have an island love, an island woman true Then thank the stars above, and you be thankful too

Stop Sailing Here To Me (Larry W.

Sugar Cane And Poi (Larry W. Jones 12/31/2002) (song#810) I remember when you were just a little island girl You lived across the bay We played where the waves along the shore there curled And I can still hear the old man say Such a generous little island boy The old island man would say When I brought you sugar cane and poi He knew that I would steal your heart away Just a little sugar cane and poi Were the things that I brought you I remember when first you held my hand I was so in love with you Then the day of graduation came I thought that things were still the same But you longed for expensive mainland things That a simple island boy just could not bring Like the going of the tide The love I knew would drift away to die When you found your mainland love To buy the things your heart was dreaming of Just a little sugar cane and poi Were the things that I brought you I remember when first you held my hand I was so in love with you Little island girl with gold and pearls And dreams of fancy mainland things You left your island boy and waves that curl And simple things like poi and sugar cane But are your graduation dreams the same Are they better than island skies I thought I heard you call my name Was that a teardrop in your polynesian eyes Just a little sugar cane and poi Were the things that I brought you I remember when first you held my hand I was so in love with you I was so in love with you
Our Favorite Island Song (Larry W. Jones 01/01/2003) (song#811) I put on our favorite island song The one that you loved so That song I'm humming but I'm so alone Here where the tradewinds blow I could go to Waikiki And watch the luau show But the girls would all be smiling And I would shed a tear I know So, I'll stay here in my cottage by the sea Wishing that you were here by me And when I turn out the light I might just cry again tonight So, I'll just hold tight to my pillow While tears flow like a weeping willow A dream I'm dreaming but I'm so alone As I hum our favorite island song A dream I'm dreaming but I'm so alone As I hum our favorite island song

Legend Of Leilani (Larry W.
