Lyrics
One vision of beauty saves the face from every frown.
It's almost as if the sun rose upside down.
Some warm kind of sunshine in your head was nearly dead, my beautiful Kona ocean smile.
(There is no other love song)
One vision of beauty grows with every passing mile: my personal Cleopatra of the Nile.
Like midnight, some bright light in my head was nearly dead, my beautiful Kona ocean smile.
So hard to imagine just one cloudy month ago.
Impossible sanctuary from the storm.
Sweet sunshine feels so fine.
"Nearly red" was all you said, my beautiful Kona ocean smile.
Blue skies, never come home.
Sunshine? Never back home.
(There is no other love song)
(This is the only Kona Song)
