Lyrics: If you've never been there It's beyond your understanding How I wish that I were landing 'Neath the tropic skies of blue I long for just one day among the summer-scented flowers Just to spend the happy hours Sunshine with you Such a wealth of sunshine When my honeybunch was near me She was always there to cheer me With a happy sunny smile I'd give a dozen years of more if I could only kiss her Never dreamt that I would miss her This little while CHORUS: Hawaiian sunshine I claim that you're mine So keep on dreaming, always beaming For your little malahini boy I'll take the boatline Hawaiian sunshine I'll steal my steal guitar And steal away to where you are
