Long, long ago in old Wyoming lived a maid, Fair as the sweetest flower bloomin’ in the glade She loved a bandit bold who roamed the prairie o’er And every night she’d listen for his call Then, far to the west, his voice came ringin’, Ridin’ a wild horse, he came singin’… “Hee lee o lee yip I o lee aye!” “Hee lee o lee yip I o lee, yip I o lee aye!” He brings a token to his love Swift as the wind he goes High in the hills he knows she’s waiting singing, “Hee lee o lee yip I o lee aye!” “Hee lee o lee yip I o lee aye!” One day he rode away but never to return Danger was waiting now, his love must never yearn Long days and lonely nights she waited all in vain Till winter passed and summer came again Still every night when the moon came shining, For his song her heart was pining… “Hee lee o lee yip I o lee aye!” “Hee lee o lee yip I o lee, yip I o lee aye!” He brings a token to his love Swift as the wind he goes High in the hills he knows she’s waiting singing, “Hee lee o lee yip I o lee aye!” “Hee lee o lee yip I o lee aye!” One night an angel brought a message from her love. Told her he waited in the starlight sky above Softly, she closed her eyes and bade the angels go And then the whole world echoed to his song For straight down a moonbeam he came riding, Out of the sky on a winged horse gliding… “Hee lee o lee yip I o lee aye!” “Hee lee o lee yip I o lee, yip I o lee aye!” He brings a token to his love Swift as the wind he goes High in the hills he knows she’s waiting singing, “Hee lee o lee yip I o lee aye!” “Hee lee o lee yip I o lee aye!”

Sweet Leilani Heavenly flower Nature fashioned roses kissed with dew And then she placed them in a bower It was the start of you. Sweet Leilani Heavenly flower I dreamed of paradise for two. You are my paradise completed. You are my dream come true. Sweet Leilani Heavenly flower Tropic skies are jealous as they shine I think they're jealous of your blue eyes Jealous because you're mine. Sweet Leilani Heavenly flower I dreamed of paradise for two. You are my paradise completed. You are my dream come true. You are my paradise completed. You are my dream come true.
