There's a faraway Island, neath the silvery moonlight
Just a paradise of dreams across the sea
There's a maiden, all alone and still waitin'
On that old Hawaiian shore for me
The tears they were fallin' and the night-birds were callin'
As the breeze that night played through her hair so free
The palm trees were swayin' soft guitars were playin'
Aloha'oe, farewell to thee
(Aloha'oe's melody)
Happy lovers were strollin' lazy waters were rollin'
As my ship set sail and drifted out to sea
The moon seemed to wonder as he watched from up yonder
When my darlin' waved the last goodbye to me
When the shadows of twilight, blend with gold of the sunset
I'll be headin' for that Isle where dreams come true
Mid that tropical splendor, my heart will surrender
On that old Hawaiian shore with you
The tears they were fallin' and the night-birds were callin'
As the breeze that night plays through her hair so free
The palm trees were swayin' soft guitars were playin'
Aloha'oe, farewel to thee
