Don't Sing Aloha When I Go

Way out in Honolulu just at the close of day
I heard a sailor sing
Unto a dusky maid
Just as his ship slowly sailed away
Don’t sing aloha when I go
Because I’m coming back you know
Don’t sing aloha tho' I cry
Our parting does not mean goodbye
I’ll dream of you in Waikiki
That’s where I’ll always long to be
Just smile and say you’ll miss me so
Don’t sing aloha when I go
Way out in Honolulu once more the close of day
There sleeps a dusky maid
Beneath the palm trees shade
And in her dreams she can hear him say
Don’t sing aloha when I go
Because I’m coming back you know
Don’t sing aloha tho' I cry
Our parting does not mean goodbye
I’ll dream of you in Waikiki
That’s where I’ll always long to be
Just smile and say you’ll miss me so
Don’t sing aloha when I go
