Lyrics:

Looking out upon the city lights
And the stars above the ocean
Got my ticket for the midnight plane
And it's not easy to leave again

Took my clothes and put them in the bag
Try not to think just yet of leaving
Looking out into the city night
And it's not easy to leave again

Each time Honolulu city lights
Stir up memories in me
Each night Honolulu city lights
Bring me back again

You are my island sunset
You are my island dream

Put on my shoes and light a cigarette
Wondering which of my friends will be here
Standing with their leis around my neck
It's not easy to leave again

Each time Honolulu city lights
Stir up memories in me
Each night Honolulu city lights
Bring me back again
Bring me back again
