Memories of Old Hawaiʻi - Traditional |
Memories of old Hawaiʻi Is slowly drifting away, escaping today Too soon, too soon! The love that was old Hawaiʻi Is drifting off with the tide Each morning, night and noon Like the flowers, once we knew blooming everywhere The big hibiscus you wore in your hair Now only the memories I treasure remain All we can do is cry out in vain Memories of old Hawaiʻi always be the same |
