From the recording The Song Within the Song
In A Little Hula Heaven
(Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger)
In A Little Hula Heaven was written for the 1937 Paramount film, Waikīkī Wedding. This arrangement was inspired by the wonderfully jazzy version from the 1990 Teresa Bright CD, Self Portrait.

Lyrics
We could be together
In a little hula heaven having dreams of love
So gay and free together
In a little hula heaven under a koa tree
Days would be lazy and sweetly crazy
Skies would grow hazy above
Then we’d be all alone together
In a little hula heaven over a silvery sea
