If Happened In Hawaii

It Happened In Hawaii - Helen O'Connell/Bob Eberly

One night it happened in Hawaii

There was a moon above and you my love

And plenty of papaya

The night it happened in Hawaii

In a moment maybe two

My arms were full of you

It was on the island of desire

There were a lot of stars and steel guitars

To set our hearts on fire

Oh what a setting for forgetting

Everything and everyone beneath the sun but you

All the dreams that I left behind me

Come back to remind me

Of that lovely rendezvous

It barely started then it ended

And why should circumstances bring an end

To anything so splendid

One night it happened in Hawaii

And it happens that I'm still in love with you

One night it happened in Hawaii

There was a moon above

And plenty of papaya

Without a question or suggestion

In a moment my arms were full of you

Island of desire

There were the stars about to set our hearts on fire

Oh what a setting for forgetting

Everyone beneath the sun but you

All the dreams that I left behind me

Come back to remind me

Of that rendezvous

It barely started then it ended

Why should circumstances anything so splendid

One night it happened in Hawaii

And it happens that I'm in love with you
