LOVELY
MAKUA ROTHMAN
: A, E, D, E

Sunny days on the North Shore
Living a dream that I had before
I can't believe that you chose me
You carried me out of the winter storm

You take me higher

You're looking so lovely, lovely girl
Really, really lovely, lovely girl
You're looking so lovely, lovely girl
Really, really lovely, lovely girl
So nice to meet ya, whisper in my ear
Tell me all the things that I want to hear
You're looking so lovely, lovely girl
Really, really lovely, lovely girl

He u'i no 'oe

2: (A, E, D, E)
Flying up to the clouds above
Oh every time I turn around
When I'm lost with you I'm found
I feel alive when you're around
You take me higher

Repeat (A, E, D, E)

He u'i no 'oe

Sun shines upon your face
Your lips shining in the sun
I can't believe with me…
You want to be…

Rap: (A, E, D, E)
Looking through the islands for some girls to have some fun
Love the local girls ‘cause they are me number one
I said a-looking through the islands for some girls to have some fun
Love the local girls ‘cause they are me number one, say

You take me higher
