Yvonne Elliman
Hawaii
Mild doses of winter rain
Brown bodies and pink champagne
Barefoot walking on sunshine days
Cool waters and blue green bays

In Hawaii
There's a special glow of beauty in Hawaii

I remember all the white beaches and perfect waves
Acid sunsets and flower leis
Easy living and lazy ways
Velvet mornings at break of day

In Hawaii
There's a special glow of beauty in Hawaii

I left my home on a big bird
Lost, alone and unhurt
To gather some knowledge of this great vast earth
To learn about more than the place of my birth

Only to miss the wonders of Hawaii

Packaged people with [?]
Smile for the camera with my ebony eyes
Fake love potions, real estate lies
Bring all your dollars to this paradise
Hawaii
Hmm mm mm
Oh Hawaii
