"My Isle Of Golden Dreams - by Gus Kahn & Walter Blaufuss


Out of the mist, lips I have kissed
Call tenderly

Out of the west, hands I have pressed
Beckon to me

Over the sea, waiting for me
Lonely and blue

Somebody sighs, somebody cries
I love you, I love you

Drifting in dreams, drifting it seems
Back to the shore

Where hand in hand, over the sand
We'll stroll once more

Heart of my heart, no more we'll part
I hear her say

But with the dawn, my dreams have gone
Astray

I hear the voice of my love
Calling me it seems

That fair Hawaiian island
My isle of golden dreams

Wizard of the strings, Roy Smeck, recorded this in 1934. For a steel guitarist who was prone to flashiness, his recording is a model of restraint. Roy's Tropical Serenaders sing only the last 4 lines posted by Peace. It is the title track of a beaut album in Harlequin's Hawaiian series: 'Isle of Golden Dreams: Music of Hawaii' Harlequin HQ CD 112.
