Island Song – S. Hendrickson © 2012
sung by Stewart Hendrickson
It's a long, long time I've left the islands
O'ahu, Kaua'i, Maui too.
It's a long, long time since first we met there
And now I'm coming home to you.
It was there we walked among the flowers
And there we promised to be true
But I sailed away to other places
And now I'm coming home to you.
I've been gone a long, long time without you
With memories alone to carry though
But I always thought about the islands
And how I'd sail back home to you.
And I'd sing my songs about Hawaii
And play my ukulele tunes
But now I’m sailing o’er the ocean
To my island home again so soon.
It's a long, long time I've left the islands
O'ahu, Kaua'i, Maui too.
It's a long, long time since first we met there
And now I'm sailing home to you
