Malia

Soft as the sirens song I first heard her laughter
and when I saw her pretty face I was hers ever after

Malia! Malia!
your brown eyes my soul they capture
Malia! Malia!
in your arms I found loves rapture

The joy she gave I could not return
for her heart was broken
A tragic love of long ago
of which was never spoken

I tried to make her smile
and fill her days with gladness
but each night she softly mourned
falling asleep in sadness

Malia! Malia!
why can't I mend your shatter heart
Malia! Malia!
your bitter kiss sweet yet tart

She left me on a winters night
alone I did wake
I searched and searched for her
my own heart she did brake

I can't forget her tenderness
and pray for her return
My precious love I miss her so
each night for her I yearn

Malia! Malia!
I can never let you go
Malia! Malia!
forever you haunt my soul

Malia! Malia!
your brown eyes my soul they capture
Malia! Malia!
in your arms I found loves rapture

Malia...
