C G Looking out upon the city lights, Bb F And the stars above the ocean, Ab C Am Got my ticket for the midnight plane, F G7 C And it's not easy to leave again.
C G Took my clothes and put them in my bag, Bb F Tried not to think just yet of leaving. Ab C Am Looking out into the city lights, F G7 C And it's not easy to leave again.
Chorus:
F G7 C F Each time Honolulu city lights, Am7 G7 Stir up memories in me. F G7 C F Each time Honolulu city lights, G7 C Will bring me back again.
Eb C You are my island sunset, Eb C And you are my island breeze.
C G Put on my shoes and light a cigarette, Bb F Wondering which of my friends will be there. Ab C Am Standing with their leis around my neck, F G7 C It's not easy to leave again.
