This is a true story about going to Kauai in 2010, with my daughter, when I won the Kauai Music Festival Songwriting Contest!! I love this island!

Gone To Hawaii
By Susan Marie Reeves
c. 8/25/2010
Traveling up the coast to the north shore kai, keeping rhythm island songs playing by
Fresh air permeating our bodies
Raining rainbows in the vortex of love, sunsets brilliant cooing sweet turtle doves
Fire on the sand handfuls of stars up above
Chorus
ll:Ooooh, hooo, hooo, hooooo, gone to Hawaii, High on Kauai:ll
Breathing in sweet scents in the air; orange, pink, yellow, flowers everywhere
Touching turtles, floating like fish without a care
Aloha spirit sinking into our souls, Kamakila boys from the village below
Kayak and hike to the secret waterfall
Chorus
oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh , oh
Bridge - Time can’t reach us now, endless summer, gotta stay somehow
Rolling naked in the sand, liquid sun, aqua water secrets beach having fun
Ancient voices speak until the day is done
Kiss the earth, the sky and the rain, love the boys, their beauty remains
Surf’s always up, cash in my ticket, I’m staying
