Down Honolulu Way 1916

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 24 May 2005

I can see two eyes
wherein the lovelight gleams,
in my dreams, in my dreams.
I can hear a voice,
as sweet as singing streams,
calling me, it seems.
O'er the old lagoon
I see the glowworm playing,
shoreward I can see
the shelt'ring palm trees swaying,
while from afar I can hear a guitar,
someone keeps softly saying:

Come where the moon is always shining,
down Honolulu way;
come where the palm trees sway,
night time is just like day.
And, while the sweet guitars are ringing,
we'll dream the night away,
where the moon beams play on the distant bay,
down Honolulu way.

Come where the moon is always shining,
down Honolulu way;
come where the palm trees sway,
night time is just like day.
And, while the sweet guitars are ringing,
we'll dream the night away,
where the moon beams play on the distant bay,
down Honolulu way.

Dreamy eyes are watching
on a southsea isle,
all the while, all the while.
Pretty lips are waiting
with a wistful smile,
my heart to beguile.
Softer than the water
in the fountain falling,
sweeter than an angel's evening song enthralling,
whisp'ring to me of a blue, singing sea,
nightly a voice is calling:

Come where the moon is always shining,
down Honolulu way;
come where the palm trees sway,
night time is just like day.
And, while the sweet guitars are ringing,
we'll dream the night away,
where the moon beams play on the distant bay,
down Honolulu way.

Come where the moon is always shining,
down Honolulu way;
come where the palm trees sway,
night time is just like day.
And, while the sweet guitars are ringing,
we'll dream the night away,
where the moon beams play on the distant bay,
down Honolulu way.
