Looking out upon the city lights
and the stars above the ocean
Got my ticket for the midnight plane
and its not easy to leave again
Took my clothes and put them in my bag
try not to think just yet of leaving
Looking out into the city night
and it's not easy to leave again
-
Each time Honolulu city lights
stir up memories in me
Each time Honolulu city lights
bring me back again
You are my island sunset
you are my island dream
-
Put on my shoes and light a cigarette
Wonderin' which of my friends will be here
Standin' with their leis around my neck
It's not easy to leave again
-
Each time Honolulu city lights
stir up memories in me
Each time Honolulu city lights
Bring me back again
Bring me back again
Bring me back again
