Burl Ives - Sweet Leilani Lyrics

Burl Ives Lyrics

"Sweet Leilani"

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 dream come true
