Kalua
Touch
(Love Song from Bird of Paradise) - Words & music by Kenneth Darby
O wai ka halia ka anoi a loko
O wai ka halia ka anoi a loko
This is my night of love
This is the hour of Kalua
My arms are open now, My heart has spoken now
Who will be Kalua's only lover?
Who will her lover be?
Who will her lover be?
Before the night is old
My (his) arms will hold Kalua
My beating heart is true Wanting you (wanting you)
Your beating heart I feel Wanting me (wanting me)
And now my song is through
I give to you, Kalua
O wai ka halia ka anoi a loko
O wai ka halia ka anoi a loko
To Where You Are
Who can say for certain
Maybe you’re still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You’re still an inspiration
Can it be?
That you are my Forever love
And you're watching over me from up above
Fly... This is my night of love
me up to where you are... This is the hour of Kalua
A distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile .... My arms are open now,
If only for awhile... My heart has spoken now
to know you’re there... will be Kalua?
A breath away’s not far
To where you are... O wai ka halia ka anoi a loko
I know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are...
O wai ka halia ka anoi a loko
Kalua~
