Oh Hawaii sun
I know I left you for awhile
I still dream of where I met my baby on a Waikiki run
Oh Oahu evenings
Forgive me we just had to leave
Where the mainland moon doesn't rise
Above the Diamond Head sky
Below is where I met her eyes
More brown then her skin, summer never said goodbye
All my [A]life I've been ɾunning
Searching for [Dm7]a ɾeason [C7]to [C7]say
The wind won't catch me but it sure knows my [A]name
The island [Bm]is my [A]home but her heart is where I stay
Oh Honolulu morning
I now wake up morning
To silent sounds of waves crashing in my [A]head
Oh warm December
I'm in cold winter
Mela kamiki maka from far away
Oh Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
You take me back to [C7]when my [A]soul was [Am7]free
My tears ɾemind me of salty seas
All my [A]life I've been ɾunning
Searching for [Dm7]a ɾeason [C7]to [C7]say
The wind won't catch me but it sure knows my [A]name
The island [Bm]is my [A]home but her heart is where I stay
Oh Hawaii Sun
I feel your warmth when she gives me love
I followed her home to [C7]where she's from
Oh Berkley mornings
She gave me babies without warning
Three little palm tɾees of our own
All my [A]life I've been ɾunning
Searching for [Dm7]a ɾeason [C7]to [C7]say, mama
The wind won't catch me but it sure as hell knows my [A]name
The island [Bm]is my [A]home but her heart is where I stay
