Aloha and welcome to our home town of Kailua on the Island of Oahu which has one of the most beautiful beaches in the world (it actually gets rated 1 or 2 every year. On a hot, gorgeous summer day we took some visitors who had never seen the ocean down to our little bay. They were just stunned. The next day, this song was written.)
What a wonderful day!
With the sun shining on my face,
I'll take you down to my sandy shores.
down to Kailua Bay.
What a wonderful day!
Where we watch the children play,
building castles in the sand,
down on Kailua Bay.
We see the sails in the wind,
blue Hawaiian skies,
I remember your first time,
I saw the sparkles in your eyes.
What a wonderful day!
Sipping mango tea in the shade
I'll let the ocean touch my toes,
down in Kailua Bay.
Shadoop, doobee, etc.
We see the sails in the wind,
blue Hawaiian skies,
I remember your first time,
I saw the sparkles in your eyes.
What a wonderful day!
What more can this poor boy say?
I'll want to take you to my home town,
down to Kailua Bay.
What a wonderful, wonderful day,
here in Hawai'i Nei.
