I remember days when we were younger

We used to catch 'o'opu in the mountain stream

'Round the Ko'olau hills we'd ride on horseback

So long ago it seems it was a dream

Last night I dreamt I was returning

and my heart called out to you

But I fear you won't be like I left you

Me kealoha ku'u home o Kahaluu



I remember days when we were wiser

When our world was small enough for dreams

And you have lingered there my sister

And I no longer can it seems

Last night I dreamt I was returning

and my heart called out to you

But I fear you won't be like I left you

Me kealoha ku'u home o Kahaluu



Change is a strange thing

it cannot be denied

It can help you find yourself

or make you lose your pride

Move with it slowly

as on the road we go

Please do not hold on to me

we all must go alone



I remember days when we were smiling

When we laughed and sang the whole night long

And I will greet you as I find you

With the sharing of a brand new song

Last night I dreamt I was returning

and my heart called out to you

To please accept me as you'll find me

Me kealoha ku'u home o Kahaluu
