Sweet Hawaiian Moonlight (Tell Her of My Love)

Performed by Gladys Rice & Evelyn Cox
Recorded 1918
Lyrics by Harold G. Frost
Music: F. Henri Klickmann

Mem'ry takes me back in dreams
Where Hawaiian moonlight gleams
Vine flow'rs are swinging, someone is singing
'Round my hear fond mem'ries are clinging

For there I stole a heart away
By the moonlit bay
Dreaming of Hawaiian moonlight
Seems I hear her say:

'Come back to me, come back to me
I love but thee, I love but thee
Here by the sea at Waikiki
Come back to me, come back to me'

Sweet Hawaiian moonlight fair
Guard my dear one sleeping there,
Memories lend her love dreams so tender
Whisper soft the message I send her

Ah! Kiss her, dreaming 'mid the flow'rs
Shining from above
Bring her back those golden hours
Wondrous moon of love

Sweet Hawaiian moonlight
Tell her of my love
