" There's a feeling deep in my heart
Stabbing at me just like a dart
It's a feeling heavenly
I see mem'ries out of the past
Memories that always will last
Of that place across the sea -
Stabbing at me just like a dart
It's a feeling heavenly
I see mem'ries out of the past
Memories that always will last
Of that place across the sea -
Waikiki
At night when the shadows are falling
I hear your rolling surf calling
Calling and calling to me
Waikiki
'Tis for you that my heart is yearning
My thoughts are always returning
Out there to you across the sea
At night when the shadows are falling
I hear your rolling surf calling
Calling and calling to me
Waikiki
'Tis for you that my heart is yearning
My thoughts are always returning
Out there to you across the sea
Your tropic nights and your wonderful charms
Are always in my memory
And I recall as I held in my arms
An angel sweet and heavenly
Waikiki
My whole life is empty without you
I miss that magic about you
Magic beside the sea
Magic of Waikiki "
Are always in my memory
And I recall as I held in my arms
An angel sweet and heavenly
Waikiki
My whole life is empty without you
I miss that magic about you
Magic beside the sea
Magic of Waikiki "

Lyrics & Music
first recording:
78 rpm by Andy Cummings,
Bell Records 1946
Andy Cummings, wrote this song
while in Lansing, Michigan on tour
with The Paradise Islands revue.
' It was a cold and foggy night
in November 1938
and we were walking back to our hotel
from the theatre.
I thought of Waikiki
with its rolling surf, warm sunshine,
palm trees. . .'

brings tears to my eyes. . . "

Lovely tune and wonderful photos; love the old scene when the swamp was still there and no buildings. But gosh, don't cry, you're right there! Say "hi" to the ocean for me. Aloha, DrumMajor
