Mehameha/White Sandy BeachLyrics by Rich Bibbs, Music by Peter Moon

Why am I aloneNo friendsIt’s been many yearsAnd someday I’ll be gone

I wish you would stayBut if you can’t, don’tI’ll always caress youI’ll always love you

I’ll go by the seaTo pass the time with the tideThe sands comfort meAnd wipe my tears away.

1/8/06 Mike Bonnice - Lau Kanaka No Hawaii

I saw you in my dreams, we were walking hand in hand

On a white sandy beach of Hawaii.

We were playing in the sun, we were having so much fun

On a white sandy beach of Hawaii.

Sound of the ocean soothes my restless soul

Sound of the ocean rocks me all night long.

Those long, hot summer days lying there in the sun

On a white sandy beach of Hawaii.

Sound of the ocean soothes my restless soul

Sound of the ocean rocks me all night long.

Last night in my dreams I saw your face again

We were there in the sun on a white sandy beach of Hawaii

On a white sandy beach of Hawaii

On a white sandy beach of Hawaii
