Dirk G. - Coconut Tree Lyrics

On the island of Kauai
There's a place down by the sea
Where I spent my summer days
In the cool shade under the leaves
Of the coconut tree down by the beach
Standing tall in the summer heat
And the tradewinds in the leaves
Are whispering to me

When I feel down, I close my eyes
And fly away ten thousand miles
Across two oceans to this place by the sea
And in my mind I watch the waves
And all my troubles wash away
My heart feels warm in the shade of the coconut tree

My summer days in the sun
Swimming, surfing, having fun
In the water so cool, the wind so warm
My heart is filled with aloha and calm
At the end of the day in paradise
The sun goes down over Bali Hai
Play my song in the sand by the beach
That summer night of daring dreams

When I feel down, I close my eyes
And fly away ten thousand miles
Across two oceans to this place by the sea
And in my mind I watch the waves
And all my troubles wash away
My heart feels warm in the shade of the coconut tree

From summer rain to the winter storms
The surf so high and coconuts fall
On the soft and golden sand
The coconut tree will stand
Like a soldier tree, defending the dream
Through waves and storms and the falling rain
Growing taller every night
For a new day in paradise

When I feel down, I close my eyes
And fly away ten thousand miles
Across two oceans to this place by the sea
And in my mind I watch the waves
And all my troubles wash away
My heart feels warm in the shade of the coconut tree
