Hula Girl at Heart

She owns a window to the ocean, she has a pipeline to the sky

But earthly creatures rarely notice when guardian angels pass them by

Like a gecko behind a painting with hidden wisdom to impart

In a world that needs more dancing, she's a hula girl at heart

Photographs show she is lovely

Her bare feet are a work of art

Her fragrance speaks of frangipani

Yes, she's still a hula girl at heart

With her pad and watercolors, drawing fish and butterflies

Children always seem to conjure images they recognize

In the land beside the ocean, where romantics seem to dwell

Destiny can set in motion ripples that turn into swells

She knows how to face the music

She knows where the magic starts

In a world that needs more dancing

She's still a hula girl at heart

Songs sing slow

Days zoom by

Time can't keep her

Nor can I

She has worn a wealth of costumes, hula skirt to wedding gown

Lived in cities, walked through jungles, always sees the sun go down

In this age of teeming tourists, fellow travelers know her well

The darling of deserted beaches hides her wisdoms in a shell

Her sensual and easy motion

Seems impossible to chart

In a world that needs more dancing

She's still a hula girl at heart
