Maui With You

Mahi Mahi with an ocean view

I get a smile when I look at you

We love the ocean and turtles too

I like to be in Maui… with you. 

Stroll down to the beach when the tide is low

Can’t escape the pull of the undertow

We watch surfers and a whale or two

I like to be in Maui… with you. 

And next time… yes next time…

We’re gonna do things different again

New adventures, where should we begin?

Maybe take trip south down Kehei way?

Will the water be as blue as Honolua Bay?

Miso Phat sushi on the balcony

Steady show of rainbows for you and me

Purple pancake breakfast and papaya too

I like to be in Maui… with you.

Do a little shopping at the ABC store

Kukui lotion and a whole lot more

The weather’s nearly perfect and the view is too

I like to be in Maui… with you.

And next time… yes next time…

We’re gonna do things different again

New adventures, where should we begin?

Take a snorkel tour to Molokini?

Or lay along the beach in Ka’anapali?

Best banana bread in the whole wide world

Freckles surfacing, your hair is curled

Just like the waves out in the ocean blue

I like to be in Maui… with you.

Duck into a lava cave at black sand beach

So far away right now, seems out of reach

But we’re going back again, you know it’s true

I like to be in Maui… with you.
