Bali Ha'i
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
First performance by: Juanita Hall - 1949
Covered by multiple other artists
Most people live on a lonely island
Lost in the middle of a foggy sea
Most people long for another island
One where they know they will like to be
Bali Ha'i may call you
Any night, any day
In your heart, you'll hear it call you
"Come away, come away"
Bali Ha'i will whisper
In the wind of the sea
"Here am I, your special island!
Come to me, come to me"
Your own special hopes,
Your own special dreams,
Bloom on the hillside
And shine in the streams
If you try, you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
"Here am I, your special island
Come to me, come to me"
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i!
Someday you'll see me floatin' in the sunshine
My head stickin' out from a low-flyin' cloud
You'll hear me call you,
Singin' through the sunshine
Sweet and clear as can be
"Come to me, here am I, come to me"
If you try, you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
"Here am I, your special island
Come to me, Come to me"
Bali Ha'i
