How Are You Tonight In Hawaii?

Lyric: Edgar Leslie
Music: Harry Warren
Year: 1930
Original publisher: Remick Music Corp.

Verse 1:

When the slumber lights are low,
With the fireflies aglow,
I dream of Hawaii and you.
Though the seven seas divide,
When you should be at my side,
I long for Hawaii and you.
I've framed your image in my memory,
I ask the picture that's smiling at me:

Chorus:

How are you tonight in Hawaii?
I miss you and wish you were near.
My poor heart is bluer
Than skies of Kailua,
While you're there and I am here.
I'm sending my love on a dream-wave,
It may be a message of cheer.
How are you tonight in Hawaii?
How are you tonight, my dear?

Verse 2:

I remember Waikiki,
Does it still remember me?
My dream boat is bound for its shore.
When I anchor in the bay,
Will I hear somebody say,
"You're welcome," the same as before?
I've told my luck-star way up in the blue
To kindly transmit this message to you:

[Chorus]
