Lyrics
Memories of home come stealing o’er me as I roam
Tender little thoughts of my land
Bring me my Hawaiian Island
I can see a light that’s burning bright for me at night
While the summer breezes blowing from afar
Harmonize with my guitar
Blow, blow, blow, blow, soft and low
Hum, hum, hum, hum, sing while I strum
Blow, blow, blow, blow, breezes blow
Help me to croon my sweet Hawaiian tune
I can hear the singing of the birds up in the trees
Tenderly to mates they’re calling
When the shades of night are falling
I can see the meadows and the flowers and the bees
Bringing back the land of paradise again
In my fondest memories
Pretty little island of the sea
You are just a wonderland to me
Someone’s mighty lonely
Waiting for me, only
Planning sunny days that are to be
When the roses bloom for you in June
Ukuleles croon our wedding tune
Happiness from me will never roam
My old Hawaiian home
