Sweet Voices of Lahaina -
Words & Music by Edna Bekeart and Irmgard `Aluli |
When sweet voices sing "Puamana" It brings back such dear memories Of a family hospitality Sharing love and aloha each day Around a piano in the evening Or under a gold Maui moon Dad and mother are there in their koa rocking chairs Telling stories of long, long ago When sweet voices sing "Puamana" It brings back those dear memories Of a home we knew, our folks, so true Happy times, lonesome times by the sea When white roses bloom at Hālona Cane tassels turn lavender blue Then we hear that waltz, that Lahaina waltz And we dance like they danced long ago When sweet voices sing "Puamana" It brings back those dear memories Of that country place, our childhood days Sunny days, chilly nights by the sea When sunset glows bright through the palm trees And night jasmine perfumes the air Then we hear those songs, those Lahaina songs And we sing like we sang long ago |
