COCOANUT GROVE
(Lyrics & Music: Harry Owens)
Introduced by Harry Owens and his Royal Hawaiians in the film,
Cocoanut Grove.
Also recorded by: Gary Aiko and the Legends
There's a cocoanut grove where life is entrancing
And there, sweetheart, we'll find romancing
And love for two
By the light of a South Sea Island moon
There's a cocoanut grove where your happy love
Will do his part, and soon discover
A rendezvous
In the shelter of a tropical lagoon
Palm trees will be swaying
While steel guitars are playing
Believe what I'm saying, dear
I swear it's true
There's a cocoanut grove where I'll be confessing
The simple truth that you've been guessing
Sweetheart
I love but you

SAYS MY HEART
(Frank Loesser and Burton Lane)
Performed by: Harriet Hilliard
"Fall in love, fall in love" says my heart
"It's romance take a chance" says my heart
But each time that I'm almost in your arms
This old school-teacher brain of mine Keeps ringing in false alarms.
Then my head rules instead and I'm wise
To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes
So I kiss and run, but the moment we're apart
"Oh you fool, That was love!" says my heart.

YOU LEAVE ME BREATHLESS
(Ralph Freed and Frederick Hollander)
Performed by: Fred MacMurray
You leave me breathless, you heavenly thing
You look so wonderful
You're like a breath of Spring.
You leave me speechless,
I'm just like the birds,
I'm filled with melody,
But at a loss for words.
That little grin of yours, that funny chin of yours,
Does so much to my heart.
Oh, give your lips to me, For, Darling,
That would be the final touch to my heart.
You leave me breathless, that's all I can say,
I can't say more, because
You take my breath away.

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.

DREAMY HAWAIIAN MOON
(Lyrics & Music by: Harry Owens)
Dreamy Hawaiian moon
Shining above
Oh, what a heavenly sight,
Oh! What a night for love.
Dreamy Hawaiian moon,
High in the blue,
Calls for a moment of bliss,
One little kiss from you.
And now it's time that you were strolling dear with me;
Where the waves are rolling down at Waikiki,
Let's go hand-in-handing to the old Moana landing
And sing a love song to the sea.
Dreamy Hawaiian moon,
High in the blue,
I owe a million to you
Making a dream come true.
