Lyrics[edit]
There's a song that haunts me
there's a girl that wants me
I'll always love her
always think of her
But the fates win somehow and I must forget now
"farewell to thee"
that melody haunts me
Golden dream girl
you're my own South Sea pearl
Since that night on the sands your little brown hands
Set my world awhirl
Oh, my South Sea flower
that enchanted hour
Makes my heart ache to come back and take you home
For mine alone, golden dream girl
I can see her standing
At the old boat landing
Brown eyes so tearful
Poor heart so fearful
Hopelessly believing
That her sweethearts leaving
Forever more, that sweet hawai'ian shore
Golden dream girl
you're my own South Sea pearl
Since that night on the sands your little brown hands
Set my world awhirl
Oh, my South Sea flower
that enchanted hour
Makes my heart ache to come back and take you home
For mine alone, golden dream girl
