From the recording Hi‘ipoi - track 11. White Sandy Beach
Track 11. White Sandy Beach 3:38 (Willie Dann)An extraordinary thing happens to nearly everyone who experiences a white sandy beach of Hawai‘i. It is a shared connection to the warm sand and sun, cooling trade winds, gentle swaying palms, and slow ocean sounds that create perfect moments in time. Mind, body and spirit become intertwined with the vast timelessness of land, sea and sky. Mellow and bittersweet, this song, made famous by Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole, lets us share a beautiful dream of being together in a place we love.
Lyrics
White Sandy Beach
By Willie Dann
I saw you in my dreamsWe were walking hand in handOn a white, sandy beach of HawaiiWe were playing in the sunWe were having so much funon a white, sandy beach of HawaiiThe sound of the oceansoothes my restless soulThe sound of the oceanrocks me all night longThose hot long summer daysLying there in the sunon a white, sandy beach of HawaiiThe sound of the oceansoothes my restless soulThe sound of the oceanrocks me all night longLast night in my dreamsI saw your face againWe were there in the sunon a white, sandy beach of Hawaii
