I Love You, Moloka`i - by Dr. E.S. Goodhue


I love you Moloka`i, with your mountains clad in green
I love you Moloka`i, of all the islands you're the queen

I love your verdant valleys and your rivers cool and still
With the warm Hawaiian sunshine over every vale and hill

I love you Moloka`i, where the white kukui's grow
With the warm Hawaiian sunshine you're the fairest isle I know

I love you Moloka`i, where the grass is wet with dew
And your mountains ever calling, always beckoning to me

I love you Moloka`i, even tho` I'm far away
I love you dearest island, and I'll come back some day
