The Old Hawaiian Way

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 morning 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 morning in the old Hawaiian way

Aloha, aloha
Puka shells and rain
Sweetest sugar cane
In the morning 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 morning 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 morning in the old Hawaiian way

Aloha, aloha
Puka shells and rain
Sweetest sugar cane
In the morning 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 (aloha, aloha)
Sweetest sugar cane (aloha, aloha)
In the morning light you will surely see

Aloha, aloha
Watch the gentle breeze (aloha, aloha)
Hula through the leaves (aloha, aloha)
There's no place that I'd rather be (aloha, aloha)

Aloha, aloha
Aloha, aloha
