1. Across the |sea 'neath fair Hawaiian skies I |long to be

For |there a maiden fond and true a|waits for me

In |dreams I seem to hear her sing so |tenderly

The |song of songs that stole my heart a|way

She sang "A|loha" while stars were |gleaming

She sang "A|loha" Farewell to |thee

I hear her |calling with love en|thralling

My own true |sweetheart across the |sea

2. Across the |sea where hearts are ever true I |long to be

Where |songs of love and sweet caresses |wait for me

And |soon the wedding bells will ring so |tenderly

The |song of songs that stole my heart a|way
