Looking out upon the city lights and the stars above the ocean
Got my ticket for the midnight plane and its not easy to leave again
Took my clothes and put them in the bag; try not to think just yet of leaving
Looking out into the city night and it's not easy to leave again
Each time Honolulu city lights stir up memories in me
Each night Honolulu city lights bring me back again
You are my island sunset; you are my island dream
Put on my shoes and light a cigarette
Wonderin' which of my friends will be here
Standin' with their leis around my neck
It's not easy to leave again
Each time Honolulu city lights stir up memories in me
Each night Honolulu city lights bring me back again
Bring me back again
