Beautiful Isles of Paradise - Henry Kailimai |
I can hear the surf on the beaten sands And the winds in the coco trees They carry me away to a fairy land In far off tropic seas Beautiful isles of paradise Moored in a sourthern sea In the land of my dreams Where the coral gleams An Eden lies waiting for me I can see a pair of flashing eyes And a mouth that always smiles As I wait for a tête-a-tête with my brown maid In those wonderful paradise isles |
