Lovely Hula Hands - by R. Alex Anderson Click Title to Access Melody

Lovely hula hands Graceful as the birds in motion Gliding like the gulls over the ocean Lovely hula hands, kou lima nani ē Lovely hula hands Telling of the rains in the valley And the swirling winds over the pali Lovely hula hands, kou lima nani ē Hui: I can feel your soft caresses Of your hula hands, your lovely hula hands Every little move expresses so I'll understand All the tender meaning Of your hula hands Fingertips that say, "Aloha" Say to me again, "I love you" Lovely hula hands, kou lima nani ē
