By: Charles E. King, Hoffman and Manning

Danny's new release of this song is found on "I Love Hawaii, The Journey"

This is the moment; I’ve waited for.

I can hear my heart singing.

Soon bells will be ringing.

Oh, This is the moment,

Of sweet aloha.

I will love you longer than forever,

Promise me that you will leave me never.

Here and now dear.

All my love I vow dear.

I will love you longer than forever,

Promise me that you will leave me never

U-a, si-la

Pa-a ia me o-e

Ko a-lo-ha ma-ka-mea e I-po

Ka-‘u ia e le-i a-e ne-i la

Now that we are one

Clouds won’t hide the sun.

Blue skies of Hawai’i smile,

On this our wedding day.

Here and now dear.

All my love I vow dear.

I will love you longer than forever,

Promise me that you will leave me never

Now that we are one

Clouds won’t hide the sun.

Blue skies of Hawai’i smile,

On this our wedding day.

I do.

Love You…

With all… my.. Heart.

The Hawaiian Wedding Song
Coco Palms Resort was a luxury resort in Hawaii. It opened in 1953 and became the focus of the last 20 minutes of Elvis Presley's film "Blue Hawaii" (1961). The climax was a wedding with Elvis singing "The Hawaiian Wedding Song". This had originally been written in Hawaiian by Charles E King in 1926. It had been given English lyrics by Hoffman and Mannin. Elvis's version is a dual-language version of both songs. He sang it to his bride at his own wedding. As a direct result of the film, about 500 Americans per year were married at the Coco Palms Resort, and most of them used the famous song as part of the ceremony. Even after the hotel closed in 1992 the song is still a popular choice, especially for Presley fans.
