Blue Hawai`i - by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger

 
Perfume in the air and rare flowers everywhere
And white shadows we could share at Waikîkî
A sky full of stars and soft far away guitars
It seems to be only a reverie
 
Night and you and blue Hawai`i
The night is heavenly
And you are heaven to me
 
Lovely you and blue Hawai`i
With all this loveliness
There should be love
 
Come with me while the moon is on the sea
The night is young and so are we
 
Dreams come true in blue Hawai`i
And mine could all come true
This magic night of nights with you
