Sweet Leilani, heavenly flower oh
I dreamt of paradise for two ( My lovely Leilani )
You are my paradise completed ( My lovely Leilani )
You are my dream come true
Sweet Leilani, heavenly flower oh,
Tropic skies are jealous while they shine ( My lovely Leilani )
I think they're jealous of your blue eyes ( My lovely Leilani )
Jealous because you're mine
I think they're jealous of your blue eyes ( My lovely Leilani )
Jealous because you're mine
Sweet Leilani, heavenly flower oh,
Nature's fashion roses kissed with dew ( My lovely Leilani )
And then she placed them in a bower ( My lovely Leilani )
It was the start of you
My lovely Lei-lan-i
