My Hawaii, You're Calling Me

Performed by Gladys Rice & Vernon Dalhart
Recorded 1918
Written by L.W. Lewis

I hear you calling, Hawaii, calling me
When night is falling, I miss you so
My heart's recalling, the days of long ago

Tonight I dream of you, Hawaii
So dear to me, across the sea
In dreams I hear a sweet voice calling me
And it seems to say
Far away I'm so lonely each day
I know the one I love is waiting
Neath Hawaiian skies of blue
I long in vain to be back home again
Hawaii, I'm dreaming of you

Mem'ries come stealing, Hawaii, o'er the sea
When stars are gleaming, and lights are low
Then I am dreaming, of scenes I used to know

Tonight I dream of you, Hawaii
So dear to me, across the sea
In dreams I hear a sweet voice calling me
And it seems to say
Far away I'm so lonely each day
I know the one I love is waiting
Neath Hawaiian skies of blue
I long in vain to be back home again
Hawaii, I'm dreaming of you
