Hawaiian Butterfly 1917

Somewhere in Hawaii
I'm sending a wire
to someone waiting there for me,
among the flowers
she counts the hours,
she simply carried my heart away
and I say in dreams ev'ry day.

Beautiful Hulu
down in dreamy Honolulu
I am feeling so peculiar,
Since I first met you.
In a moonlit garden fair,
Cupid, he is warden there,
just like the flowers you're true,
waiting and dreaming
a garden of roses,
sometime in the bright Hawaiian sunshine,
Dear, I'm going to make you all mine,
and that is just why,
song birds sing in tune to these words
When I come back some day,
we'll fly away,
Hawaiian Butterfly.

Since I first met you.

just like the flowers you're true,
waiting and dreaming
a garden of roses,
sometime in the bright Hawaiian sunshine,
Dear, I'm going to make you all mine,
and that is just why,
song birds sing in tune to these words
When I come back some day,
we'll fly away,
Hawaiian Butterfly.

She answered the wire
I sent to Hawaii
with simple words, like,
"I love you,"
and since she told me,
I can see plainly,
soon I'll be telling you all goodbye,
I must go,
for I love her so.

and that is just why,
