Underneath Hawaiian Skies
Performed by Campbell & Burr
Recorded November 1920
Written by Ernie Erdman & Fred Rose
Where the tropic breezes play
Where the palm trees bend and sway
There a lonely maiden sighs
Underneath Hawaiian skies
Every night beneath the moon
You can hear a lonesome croon
Calling out across the bay
To her lover far away
Come back to the shores of Honolulu
I'm so lonely here without you
Underneath Hawaiian skies
Tell me, am I waiting all in vain, dear
Say you're coming back again, dear
To a land that's paradise (Can't you hear me calling?)
Come back where each tiny star that twinkles
And each steel guitar that tinkles
Breathes of love that never dies
Sometime, I just know you'll be returning
To a heart that's always yearning
Underneath Hawaiian skies
Moonbeams kiss the silv'ry sand
Where they wandered, hand in hand
Tears be-dim two soft brown eyes
Underneath Hawaiian skies
Sweet Hawaiian melodies
Bring to her fond memories
Of a love that used to be
As she calls across the sea
Come back to the shores of Honolulu
I'm so lonely here without you
Underneath Hawaiian skies
Tell me, am I waiting all in vain, dear
Say you're coming back again, dear
To a land that's paradise (Can't you hear me calling?)
Come back where each tiny star that twinkles
And each steel guitar that tinkles
Breathes of love that never dies
Sometime, I just know you'll be returning
To a heart that's always yearning
Underneath Hawaiian skies
