The Old Hawaiian Way – HEY-SMITH
When the sun begins to rise
In the great eastern sky
And the evening stars go hidin’ from the day
Oh, the sand and the sea
They come a’callin’ to me
They say good mornin’ in the old Hawaiian way!
As my spirit’s taking flight
In the dawn’s early light
See the seagulls and the dolphins how they play
Like a pearl on a string
Or a bird on the wing
It’s good mornin’ in the old Hawaiian way!
Aloha! Aloha!
Puka shells and rain
Sweetest sugar cane
In the mornin’ light you will surely see
Aloha! Aloha!
Watch the gentle breeze
Hula through the leaves
There’s no place that I’d rather be
Hear the palms begin to sway
As they’re startin’ their day
And a golden rainbow reaches ‘cross the sky
Lovely flowers for your lei
And their fragrant bouquet
Say good mornin’ in the old Hawaiian way!
When I’m thinking of home
And my thoughts start to roam
I can hear the ocean callin’ me to play
In the pineapple sun
That’s the way to have fun
Say good mornin’ in the old Hawaiian way!
Aloha! Aloha!
Puka shells and rain
Sweetest sugar cane
In the momin’ light you will surely see
Aloha! Aloha!
Watch the gentle breeze
Hula through the leaves
There’s no place that I’d rather be
Aloha! Aloha!
Puka shells and rain
Sweetest sugar cane
In the momin’ light you will surely see
Aloha! Aloha!
Watch the gentle breeze
Hula through the leaves
There’s no place that I’d rather be
