On the beach in Hawaii
I wish you were here with me
Walking on the beach in Hawaii
Playing on the golden sand
Looking at the ocean, now I understand
Love is like the open sea
And I wish you were here with me
On the beach in Hawaii
Since you’ve been gone away
I think about you everyday
Don’t you know I miss you much
And you know I need your touch
I’m on a rocky cliff
Oh, I wish you were here with me
(I wish you were here with me)
on the beach in Hawaii
(I wish you were here with me)
A little pakalolo1, and I say mahalo2
Ujjayi breathing3, to get a real feeling
Yogi gonna let you know
that I wish you were here with me
(I wish you were here with me)
On the beach in Hawaii
(I wish you were here with me) in Hawaii
(Oh, I wish you were here with me)
On the beach in Hawaii
(Oh, I wish you were here with me)
