When You Dream About Hawaii
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
Don't forget to dream about that night we met
When you feel my arms around you
Will memory cling, echoing, I won't forget
When you hear the rippling water
As they kissed the silvery sand, so playfully
Will you hear me say 'I love you'
To the tune of steel guitars beneath the stars at Waikiki
When you dream about Hawaii, dream of me
When you hear the rippling water
As they kissed the silvery sand, so playfully
Will you hear me say 'I love you'
To the tune of steel guitars beneath the stars at Waikiki
When you dream about Hawaii, dream of me
