Island
Charles Uzzell-Edwards Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Islands of Hawaii
Where skies of blue are calling me
Where balmy air and golden moonlight
Caress the waving palms of Wai KiKi

Valleys with their rainbows
Your mountains green, and deep blue sea
Your fragrant flowers and dreamy music
Unite and sing a aloha-hi to me

Islands of Hawaii
Where skies of blue are calling me
Where balmy air and golden moonlight
Caress the waving palms of Wai KiKi

Valleys with their rainbows
Your mountains green, and deep blue sea




Your fragrant flowers and dreamy music
Unite and sing a aloha-hi to me
