Vapor
Trail Dreams, From Paper Airplanes
Walking on clouds in the
heavenly blue
In a job that I loved, with a
sky view,
Let me travel with a smile on
my face.
I've sojourned afar in
aloha's grace.
Every city, every place had a
song...
A melody played as I sang
along.
As many years passed and I
longed for home
I gave up my wings; no longer
would roam.
Island of pineapples and
sugarcanes,
Vapor trail dreams, from
paper airplanes,
Memories now, I recall from
above
Have left me contented with
my sweet love.
