Verse:

Down by the south - ern sea,  There at Wai - ki - ki,

Some - one waits for me.  Be - neath the dream - y sum - mer moon,

Hearts are all in tune.  Lov - ers soft - ly croon,

Their plain - tive mel - o - dies of love.

 

Chorus:

Drif -ting and dream -ing,

While shad -ows fall.

Soft -ly at twi -light,

I hear you call.

Love's old sweet sto -ry,

Told with your eyes.

Drift -ing and dream -ing,

Sweet Par -a -dise.
