From the recording State By State "Tribute 3"
Lyrics
Palm trees swaying in the breeze so warm
Waves are crashing on the golden shore
Mountains rising where the clouds are born
Paradise that I've been searching for
Hawaii, where the ocean meets the sky
Aloha spirit never saying goodbye
From sunrise painting mountains red and gold
To stories that the ancient valleys told
Plumeria blooms are in the air
Rainbow colors everywhere I turn
Hula dancers moving without care
While the torches on the shoreline burn
Hawaii, where the ocean meets the sky
Aloha spirit never saying goodbye
From sunrise painting mountains red and gold
To stories that the ancient valleys told
Ukulele strumming soft and sweet
Feel the rhythm in my heartbeat
Trade winds calling, pulling me back home
To these islands where my soul can roam
Hawaii, where the ocean meets the sky
Aloha spirit never saying goodbye
From sunrise painting mountains red and gold
To stories that the ancient valleys told
Hawaii, you're forever in my soul
