Honolulu Lady

Verse 1

That lovely Honolulu lady

Dancing in the moonlight glow

She's my island angel

Though there's so much I don't know

Her hair hangs still while her hips reveal

The rhythm of the sea

Like the palms sway in the island breeze

My eyes follow her with ease

Pre-Chorus

I don't know her name

Don't know where she's been

But tonight beneath these island stars

I can write the story's end

Chorus

Honolulu lady, dance awhile for me

While the moonlight paints the water

And the tide rolls quietly

Maybe by the morning

You'll be only in my mind

But tonight, my Honolulu lady

I can dream that you are mine

Verse 2

Maybe she's an angel

Maybe trouble dressed in white

Maybe there's another man

Waiting for her after tonight

But the trade winds tell me otherwise

And paradise agrees

So I turn a stranger into love

With every passing breeze

Pre-Chorus

I give her words she's never said

A heart I've never known

Build a little life for us

Before the night is gone

Chorus

Honolulu lady, dance awhile for me

While the moonlight paints the water

And the tide rolls quietly

Maybe by the morning

You'll be only in my mind

But tonight, my Honolulu lady

I can dream that you are mine

Bridge

I see us walking down the shoreline

Barefoot, hand in hand

Watching one last golden sunset

Disappear beyond the sand

Funny what an island evening

Can make a man believe—

A little moon, a little music

And a stranger becomes a dream

Instrumental — Slack-Key Guitar

Final Chorus

Honolulu lady, dance awhile for me

Let me borrow one more moment

From this island fantasy

Morning may tell a different story

When the sun begins to shine

But tonight, my Honolulu lady

In my story, you are mine

Outro

That lovely Honolulu lady

Turning softly by the sea

She may never know my story—

Or the life she lived with me.
