Lyrics

Intro

Aloha e

(Aloha e)

(Ooh)

Chorus

She has that golden skin

Pure flower in her hair

Walking slow along the white tide line

(Fine as can be)

She has that golden skin

Pure flower in her hair

Wahine noho ha'aheo i ka nani

(Pure beauty)

Verse 1

Met her down by the coconut stand

Wearing worn out slippers in the shifting sand

Simple cotton dress

Caught in a summer gust

She laughed at the way I tripped over my feet

Telling me I looked far too sweet

Watching my pride crumble

Turn to sea spray

Pre-Chorus

He aloha wau ia 'oe

Every morning starts a new story

He aloha wau ia 'oe

Drowning in that island glory

Chorus

She has that golden skin

Pure flower in her hair

Walking slow along the white tide line

(Fine as can be)

She has that golden skin

Pure flower in her hair

Wahine noho ha'aheo i ka nani

(Pure beauty)

Verse 2

Now I am checking the surf at five

Learning what it really means to be alive

Planting green taro

Tending the heavy vine

I left my plastic shoes behind back in the town

Keeping my pulse calm keeping my volume down

Living on the trade winds

Drinking up the rain

Pre-Chorus

He aloha wau ia 'oe

Every morning starts a new story

He aloha wau ia 'oe

Drowning in that island glory

Chorus

She has that golden skin

Pure flower in her hair

Walking slow along the white tide line

(Fine as can be)

She has that golden skin

Pure flower in her hair

Wahine noho ha'aheo i ka nani

(Pure beauty)

Bridge

Talking 'bout the reef

Talking 'bout the mountains

Talking 'bout the way she moves

U'i e

U'i e

Lanakila kou aloha

Winning me over

Every single day

Verse 3

See my neighbor he brought some fish

Stirred them up in a giant wooden dish

Family all around

Kids playing in the yard

No one checks their watch to see the time fly

Just watching the pink clouds float across the sky

She looks at me

Smiles like the rising sun

Chorus

She has that golden skin

Pure flower in her hair

Walking slow along the white tide line

(Fine as can be)

She has that golden skin

Pure flower in her hair

Wahine noho ha'aheo i ka nani

(Pure beauty)

Hook

Hau'oli

Hau'oli

Hau'oli

(Yeah she's the one)

Chorus

She has that golden skin

Pure flower in her hair

Walking slow along the white tide line

(Fine as can be)

She has that golden skin

Pure flower in her hair

Wahine noho ha'aheo i ka nani

(Pure beauty)
