Lyrics
THERE'S A PLACE IN MY HEART
THAT I LOVE AND LONG FOR
IN THIS LONE DESERT ISLE
MY HEART IS LONGING FOR YOU
ON THIS LONE DESERT ISLE
MY MEMORY EMBRACES
IF I EVER RETURN
I WILL RETURN FOREVER MORE
I REMEMBER MY YOUTH WITH YOUR FRAGRANCE AND FLOWERS
IT IS YOU I ADORE WITH YOUR SWEET ALOHA
THERE'S A PLACE IN MY HEART
THAT I LOVE AND I LONG FOR
ON THIS LONE DESERT ISLE
I'LL CHERISH YOU FOREVER MORE
ON THIS WARM DESERT NIGHT
ALL MY DREAMS ARE ABOUT YOU
IT IS YOU I SAY TO YOU
THEIR IS BEAUTY IN YOU
OH I REMEMBER MY YOUTH
WITH YOUR RAINBOWS AND RAINDROPS
IT IS YOU I ADORE
WITH YOUR SWEET A-LO-HA A-LO-HA
IT IS MY MOST DESIRE
TO COME HOME ON THIS LAND AGAIN
IF I'M HOME BOUND AGAIN
I'LL LEAVE YOU NEVER AGAIN
OH I REMEMBER MY YOUTH
WITH YOUR WARM TRADEWINDS BLOWING
IF I EVER TETURN
ALL THE RAINBOWS BE GLO--WING GLO-WING GLO-WING
ON THIS LONE DESERT ISLE
MY MEMORY EMBRACES
IF I EVER RETURN
TO YOU FOREVER MORE
TO YOU FOREVER MORE
TO YOU FOR- EVER MORE
HO I OU AU [ I HAVE RETURNED]
