New Original Song

Our Mom and Dad
Original by Bobby Chang and Lani Anacan
In memory of Mariano and Dorothy Chang

Island Home
So far away, in a place called Hawai’I Nei
In the evening when the sun goes down
I recall the island sounds.

Rainbows fill the deep blue sky
Over mountains where angels cry
Ocean breezes, windward blown
Island dreams that we have known.

Chorus
Island Home my only home
I find comfort and beauty there
Island Home I’m coming home
My life begins and ends there.


My parents loved these islands
No matter where their travels took them
They always missed the island ways
As my father always said
After they came back to Kane’ohe
“There is no place like home”
They have traveled alone now
They made the ultimate sacrifice
And we miss them so
But if you look towards the Ko'olau’s
Their presence can be felt
Because this is their home Hawai’i Nei.

Music and Lyrics by Bobby Chang

The days are long, the nights are sweet,
Without your love, it’s incomplete
The island is for love for you and me.


And with your love, how high we’ll be
Taking love so seriously
The island is for love for you and me.


Dreams about you I can’t wait
From you I can’t escape, island love
Waves of love come rolling in
My head is in a spin, island love


Oh, island girl, you’re of my dreams
Paradise, in time it seems
The island is for love for you and me.

- Pa’ani (2nd verse) -

- Chorus -

- 3rd verse -

- 1st verse -
Ending: For you and me… My Island Girl.

By Bobby Chang

Lonely days
Goes on by
Thinking of your sweet sweet smile
I need you heart near mine

I feel blue
Without you
I need you to get me through
I need you heart near mine
Until the end of time.

Chorus
I feel my heart is pounding
For you my love surrounding
And with my love within you
Darling my world endears you.

Instrumental

Sunny days
Are hear again
Now I got you back again
I need you heart near mine
Until the end of time
I need your heart near mine
Until the end of time.

Lyrics:

City streets of pavement black
Sidewalks of some wayward past.
Fragments of the days of old
It has seen a thousand times before.


Yesterday I saw it coming
The future is right here and now.
Tomorrow all the old time memories
Will be forgotten in our minds.


Evening ladies with wind swept hair
Falling in lust if you dare.
Hotel Street is doing fine
The ways of old is on my mind.


Harmonic tones fill the streets
Methodic artists find their beat
Mother time has drained your soul
Predominant interest has gone cold.
