First Refrain:

Out of the west, lips I have kissed, call tenderly.
Out of the west, hands I have pressed, beckon to me.

Over the sea, waiting for me, lonely and blue.
Somebody sighs, somebody cries, "I love you, I love you!"

Drifting in dreams, drifting it seems, back to the shore,
Where hand in hand, over the sand, we'll stroll once more,
"Heart of my heart, we'll never part!" I hear her say,
But with the dawn, my dreams have gone astray.

 

Interlude:

I hear the voice of my land,
A-calling me it seems,
That fair Hawaiian island,
My isle of golden dreams.

 

Second Refrain:

Somehow I know, sometime I'll go, Back o'er the sea,

Where all alone someone I've known, waits patiently,

Lips I have kissed, lips I have missed, whisper it seems,

Come for a while, back to your Isle of Dreams.

The Isle of Golden Dreams,

My Isle of Golden Dreams!
