Lyrics
Moonlight and music, moments of tropical splendor
Midnight and madness; how can you help but surrender to
Chorus
Blue shadows and white gardenias
Stars like lanterns in the sky
Shadows of a boy and girl sailing on a lazy lagoon
Thru Hawaiian paradise, by the glow of a topaz moon
Blue shadows and white gardenias
What a setting for a sigh
I can see two silhouettes of a dream come true
A shadow of me so close to a shadow of you
