Lookin' out upon the city lights



And the stars above the ocean



Got my ticket for the midnight plane



And it's not easy to leave again







Took my clothes and put them in the bag



Try not to think just yet of leavin'



Lookin' out into the city night



And it's not easy to leave again







(*) Each time Honolulu city lights



Stir up memories in me



Each night 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







Repeat (*)
