Description

Music & Lyrics: R. Alex Anderson
Original Airdate: March 16, 2006

Oh, when I hear the strains of that sweet Alekoki
And stealing from afar of guitars penei nō
When makes you sway in the moonlight
I know the reason why fair Hawaiʻi haunts you so

The lovely blue of sky and the sapphire of ocean
The flashing white of clouds and of waves foaming crest
The many shades of green from the plains to the mountains
With all its brightest hues of the rainbow we're blest

I hear the swish of rain as it sweeps down the valley
I hear the song of wind as it sighs through the trees
I hear the crash of waves on the rocks and the beaches
I hear the hissing surf and the boom of the seas

I love to dance and sing of the charms of Hawaiʻi
And from a joyful heart sing "Aloha" to you
In every note I'll tell of the spell of my islands
For then I know that you'll be in love with them too

I love to dance and sing of the charms of Hawaiʻi
And from a joyful heart sing "Aloha" to you
In every note I'll tell of the spell of my islands
For then I know that you'll be in love with them too
For then I know that you'll be in love with them too

Aloha!

Aloha and mahalo!
