[Verse 1]
Cruising Hanalei with your hand in mine
Past the green hills bending toward the tide
You laugh when the salt wind tangles your hair
And every little mile says you’re there
[Pre-Chorus]
When the evening pours gold on the bay
You turn and take my breath away
[Chorus]
My Kauai sunrise, my island heart
You make the whole blue ocean shine where you are
With tropical flowers in your hair
Sweet as the warm trade wind in the air
You ride that wave, then come running back to me
My beautiful wife, my favorite view of the sea
[Verse 2]
We watch the sunset from the old shoreline
Purple on the mountains, rose across the sky
Your board is waiting by the sandy track
You chase the morning swell, then you come back
[Pre-Chorus]
And when the first light finds your face
The whole wide world falls into place
[Chorus]
My Kauai sunrise, my island heart
You make the whole blue ocean shine where you are
With tropical flowers in your hair
Sweet as the warm trade wind in the air
You ride that wave, then come running back to me
My beautiful wife, my favorite view of the sea
[Bridge]
If the road keeps winding, I’ll follow along
If the tide keeps turning, I’ll sing you this song
From Hanalei mornings to sunset skies
I’ll choose you again with every sunrise
[Final Chorus]
My Kauai sunrise, my island heart
You make the whole blue ocean shine where you are
With tropical flowers in your hair
Sweet as the warm trade wind in the air
You ride that wave, then come running back to me
My beautiful wife, my favorite view of the sea
[Outro]
Hanalei roads and a sky turning gold
Your hand in mine is all I want to hold
