Blue Lei - words by R. Alex Anderson, Music by Milton Beamer
I recall the hat you wore that day in late December
Little things just like the flowers you are wearing
Always linger in my mind
You were wearing a blue lei
The day that I first met you
And we wandered on the sand
By the blue, blue sea
With not a cloud in the sky to distress us
Not a care had you or I to suppress us
I shall always remember
The moment when I kissed you
And the smile upon your lips
So heavenly sweet
When your blue eyes looked into mine
It was then the sun began to shine
That day in May
You wore a blue, blue lei
R.A. Anderson
