Aloha Oe…Daniel & Sharon Lee…
After spending two weeks in Hawaii, it was difficult to say farewell to this lovely beautiful tropical state with its wonderful friendly people; gracious hospitality; romantic setting; the fascinating Hawaiian Islands’ exciting entertaining & social experiences; and many unforgettable memories of our short stay…Aloha Oe…
Aloha Oe-Lyrics was written by Queen Liliuokalani…Music by the Norman Loboff Choir. The soft soothing relaxing music of Hawaii was a clear reminder of our wonderful two weeks spent on 4 romantic and lovely Hawaiian Islands. It was deeply emotional to leave such a beautiful place. Aloha Oe’s gentle music was etched into our mindset while waiting for our flight. We will always remember our Hawaiian experience & the romantic easy going atmosphere of the islands. Many “memorable moments in time” when we will return for another visit in the future. Aloha & Mahalo-Hawaii, until we meet again!
Aloha Oe

Ha ‘aheo ka ua I na pali Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs

Chorus:
Aloha ‘oe, Aloha ‘oe Farewell to you, Farewell to you
