The Old Hawaiian Way

by Marco Marinangeli, Jay Landers, Richard Jay-Alexander

 

When the sun begins to rise

In the great eastern sky

And the evening stars go hidin' from the day

Oh, the sand and the sea

They come a'callin' to me

They say good mornin' in the old Hawaiian way

 

As my spirit's taking flight

In the dawn's early light

See the seagulls and the dolphins how they play

Like a pearl on a string

Or a bird on the wing

It's good mornin' in the old Hawaiian way!

 

Aloha, aloha

Puka shells and rain

Sweetest sugar cane

In the mornin' light you will surely see

Aloha, aloha

Watch the gentle breeze

Hula through the leaves

There's no place that I'd rather be

 

Hear the palms begin to sway

As they're startin' their day

And a golden rainbow reaches 'cross the sky

Lovely flowers for your lei

And their fragrant bouquet

Say good mornin' in the old Hawaiian way!

 

When I'm thinking of home

And my thoughts start to roam

I can hear the ocean callin' me to play

In the pineapple sun

That's the way to have fun

Say good mornin' in the old Hawaiian way

 

Aloha, aloha

Puka shells and rain

Sweetest sugar cane

In the momin' light you will surely see

Aloha, aloha

Watch the gentle breeze

Hula through the leaves

There's no place that I'd rather be

 

Aloha, aloha

Puka shells and rain

Sweetest sugar cane

In the momin' light you will surely see

Aloha, aloha

Watch the gentle breeze

Hula through the leaves

There's no place that I'd rather be
