Beach Boys - Lahaina Aloha Lyrics






Where the sea breeze
Sways the palm trees
Paradise awaits
And so does she

Reliving love
That was like a romance
From a page in history

It was the last place
That he stopped at
On the way back to his boat

She was dancing
Met his glancing
Like they say
"It was all she wrote"

You know I want to
But I can't stay (bye bye)
Girl you know I'm gonna sail away (sail away)
When the wind comes up
And when the sun goes down
I'll say "goodbye" to this old island town

Out on the water where the full moon shines
You and Lahaina always on my mind

They left the dance floor
So they could spend more
Precious time near the water side

It wasn't wrong
And it wasn't right
They were two ships
Passing in the night

You know I want to
But I can't stay (bye bye)
Girl you know I'm gonna sail away (sail away)
When the wind comes up
And when the sun goes down
I'll say "goodbye" to this old island town

I think about you when the full moon shines
Lahaina always on my mind

You know I want to
But I can't stay (bye bye)
Girl you know I'm gonna sail away (sail away)
When the wind comes up
And when the sun goes down
I'll say "goodbye" to this old island town
I think about you when the full moon shines
Lahaina always on my mind

You know I want to
But I can't stay (bye bye)
Girl you know I'm gonna sail away (sail away)
When the wind comes up
And when the sun goes down
I'll say "goodbye" to this old island town

I think about you when the full moon shines
Lahaina always on my mind

Beach Boys Lahaina Aloha Comments
  1. A.... V....

    Great song!!! One of my favorites from the Boys!! And the album "Summer in paradise" has the best version ever of the song "Under the boardwalk".

  2. I.... L....

    This is actually pretty good, reminds me of Wii Sports

  3. G.... F....

    You know I want to but I can’t stay 😢

    Beautiful vocal by Carl Wilson

  4. C.... D....

    Everytime happen to listen to this beautiful song .......i say to myself how great are the Beach Boys.....

  5. D.... M....

    Carl's Voice Beautiful as always and Timeless!

  6. d.... c....

    a really good song on a mostly awful album. carl's voice really shines on this one...

  7. s.... ....

    1:08 Carls Voice

  8. J.... M....

    This song, Strange Things Happen and Summer in Paradise are the only good songs on this album.

  9. g.... m....

    Okay album , but how could it be great w/o Brian & Dennis ?

  10. C.... D....

    A GEM OF A SONG....THE INTRO RECALL KOKOMO

  11. b.... ....

    One of my favorite latter days Beach Boys cuts. I love the hook chorus getting back to the infectious melodies that made them amazing ...

  12. J.... D....

    I'd never heard this song until last week, listening to the "all Beach Boys" channel 4 on Sirius radio, it came on. It caught my ear, and I've listened to it a bunch of times since. Real good song. Perhaps my favorite Beach Boys song now.

  13. L.... C....

    What a Beautiful song... cannot believe I have never heard this before now

  14. N.... ....

    The snare needs to be louder
    ;-)

    N.... ....

    And that gated reverb STILL being used in '92!

  15. S.... K....

    rubbish

  16. A.... J....

    Yes I Have Been Through Grew Up Full House With Beach Boys Bingo

  17. J.... L....

    this is the best cheering up album ever......

  18. W.... ....

    One of the best efforts from Mike Love and Terry Melcher.

  19. o.... ....

    damn yeah! great song!

  20. M.... ....

    A few problems with this album, but it's the horrible drums throughout that really wreck it for me

  21. D.... S....

    The album is a complete masterpiece, on par with Coltrane's "A love Supreme", "Dark Side of the Moon", Glenn Gould performing "the Goldberg Variations", or "Never Mind the Bullocks" by the Sex Pistols. Yes, I am practicing the fine art of sarcasm. It is doo-doo, complete paltry wanky doo-doo. I can't believe they can't blame this album on drug addiction or anything.

  22. P.... ....

    Great, lovely song, too bad most people miss it.

  23. T.... ....

    This isn't as gut-punchingly atrocious as I was lead to believe it would be. It's not GOOD, but it's better than Mike's solo album.

  24. J.... M....

    The Beach boys are like religion, a lot of people believe in God but can never agree on what kind of God they believe in. This song is brilliant/this song is shit. When this CD came out i loved it, then i read that it was shit!

  25. j.... ....

    Pure garbage.

    j.... ....

    I recently listened to almost all of the Beach Boys' catalogue. There are some REALLY REALLY REALLY bad/garbage songs. This ain't one of them.

    j.... ....

    @Gary Stump Sr I think Vega-tables was the dumbest song I ever heard LOL Brian must have been very stoned when he wrote that :D

  26. I.... M....

    Carl, Carl and Carl!!!

  27. I.... M....

    Ya, ya, no es Do It Again , pero me gusta

  28. W.... T....

    Damn, what a voice Carl.

  29. A.... Y....

    The fact that some people actually compare this album to the masterpiece known as pet sounds is embarrassing. That's one way to sum up this album, embarrassing and a complete mess.

  30. D.... B....

    They messed this album up , when they redone it , I'm glad I got the original album, 10 times better, it's a great album

    D.... B....

    +Derek Beauchamp Hum ORIGINAL? is it a bootleg?

    D.... B....

    +Derek Beauchamp sorry realized the UK version is different LOL

    D.... B....

    +Daniel Weston this version was sold months and months way back in England in OUR PRICE RECORDS and couldn't believe it when they came out with the second version, which is crap. I think someone in the band didn't like it, so they changed it. The second so called English version looks cheap, but the first version was a beautiful foldout cover , with a nice poster, which I had on my wall for months. I've been a Beach Boys fan for over 50 years now. Today I'm a Brian Wilson fan with new music and comes with a SMILE with some LOVE & MERCY. the beachboys are history trying to keep the summer alive 🏄🏻🌊🌞

    D.... B....

    +Derek Beauchamp cool story...you just the American version in England :) then the crappy version came after (but I haven't really tried to listen yet)

  31. P.... d....

    The album was awful. This cut, with Carl, freaking rocks.

    P.... d....

    Ponce de Leon The song is the only track that I really like from the album.

    P.... d....

    I’ve never heard it before 😳I’ve been a fan since 1963

    P.... d....

    Carl’s voice!!!!!!

    P.... d....

    If you gave it an unbiased listen, you may be pleasantly surprised.

  32. C.... H....

    This is the best song on the album, in my opinion, but I think the whole album is very good.  It has an overall tropical island feel to it which is what I feel the band wanted to accomplish.  Most lifelong Beach Boys fans don't like anything that Brian didn't write, dissing the rest of the band as no talents and that isn't true or fair.  This album shows that the Boys could still do a beachy vibe in a grown up way and it works.

    C.... H....

    @Cindy H. Well stated! I agree!

    C.... H....

    true....besides Brian was busy with getting rid of landy

  33. E.... ....

    the first 10 seconds could be sampled as a trap beat.  what to do with the rest tho?

  34. c.... ....

    LOVED when this album came out. I saw them play most the songs in concert in Syracuse that yr at the Fair and also another concert that yr but aft that, not a lot of these songs were out there. I do own the cassette and now the cd. I LOVE it. also the cover. this has to be my fav song on it, prob because I used to (before that) live in Lahaina now living on Maui, wishing they would re-release this one.

  35. s.... ....

    The boys from So. Cal. sound better than ever on this wonderful song!

  36. J.... D....

    I think they should release the Album in stores again.

  37. S.... R....

    i dont know why but this wasnt a very big selling album. i think there are some fantastic songs on it. this is one of my all time favourite songs ever - such lovely vocals from carl

  38. m.... t....

    love it. it's carl at his best.

  39. J.... H....

    Great song plus Carl Wilson at his best!!

  40. A.... T....

    this song is so old for me, but it's sooooo great! TBB is almost whole my life now.
    Thank you, TBB!!! ♥

  41. r.... ....

    The production ruins an otherwise decent song. That goes for most of this whole album, and Brian's Imagination as well.

  42. k.... ....

    Its got catchy tunes! I think its a great beach boys LP! nothing wrong with this! I think its high time it was looked upon again! not all things are properly appreciated in their time!

  43. k.... ....

    I did not know much about this album! I heard a lot of bad things about it, but having heard most of it now I don't understand why its had such a rough ride over the years! I think its a great beach boys album and the guys did a great job!

    k.... ....

    katakisLives It's really not a bad album. I'm glad I was able to find a copy of it a few years ago. Of course, there are a few tracks I don't really care for but there are some gems like this one on it.

    k.... ....

    Being deaf the vocals don’t matter, but the beats are awesome

  44. a.... r....

    this song makes you wish it was summer all year round and yet another great carl wilson voice i miss him alot dennis would have loved it to god bless them

  45. S.... R....

    A very underrated album . Some great tracks on this album despite the absence of Brian. This is one of my all time favourite songs. If not my number one . I love the lyrics and music.

  46. S.... D....

    3 people have never lived life.

  47. a.... ....

    Great melody and fantastic vocals by Mike and Carl. Takes me back to being 16 on a summer night.

  48. j.... ....

    What is wrong with you folks?? This album was so god awful that it actually put the distributor out of business. It killed a company!

  49. K.... S....

    Grew up listening to THE BEACH BOYS! They are always and will forever be "America's Band" I absolutely love this album... Long lost and unknown tracks, but PHENOMENAL!

  50. T.... L....

    To me this album shows how badly the beach boys needed Brian. I like the songs I just think that with Brian's writing, arranging and producing was missed.

  51. C.... ....

    Just picked up the CD on Ebay; mainly for this tune. Just love it. : )

    C.... ....

    Coolrockndad i need to find this case that the CD came in so I can get it signed by Bruce Johnston and Mike Love when I see them July 19

  52. J.... H....

    The more time that passes the more I miss Carl Wilson. I often think about how Tom Petty talked about Carl's incredible voice... A combination amazement, appreciation, and envy! I love reading people's comments about Carl. Also appreciate John Hunter Phillips music and his committment to the Beach Boys... Hope JHP is enjoying life in Hawaii....

  53. H.... ....

    beautiful song and way way wayyyy under-appreciated CD. Who else thinks this needs a re-release? They should also put the song 'Problem Child' as a bonus!

    H.... ....

    HedonisticNeon I'd love to see it re-released.

  54. S.... R....

    This is quite possibly my favourite song ever.

  55. V.... B....

    Good stuff, but don't tell us it's one of their greatest hits! It was not even released as a single and the album's sales were very poor

  56. J.... H....

    @BeachBoysGuy1 There are so many songs that I feel Carl's voice is the best... thiis is clearly one of the very best....beautiful song about a beautiful town. To me this song belongs with Somewhere near Japan, and Sloop John B as a sort of trilogy of related songs... does that make sense to you?

  57. S.... S....

    This and Somewhere near Japan are their best songs by far! How they dont get played on radio is a guess to me.

  58. K.... V....

    If this ends up being the last studio lp by these guys, then that's kind of sad...they need one more great one w/ Brian Wilson.

  59. 0.... ....

    Oh. My. GAWWD! I seriously live in Lahaina! Born and raised baby! Never knew about this song! Superly-mega cool!

  60. H.... ....

    Pleasant song, great vocals fron Mike Love & Carl. Nice touch on the accordion from Van Dyke Parks.

  61. S.... R....

    OK. I know Brian was out of the scene here but even so this album was a great performance by the Beach Boys . This song here 'Lahaina Aloha' is definitely one of my favourite songs .. EVER! Sheer excellence ..

  62. H.... ....

    Carl's voice in as smooth and sweet as honey.

  63. S.... ....

    Island Fever was always my favourite track on this album, but I'm coming to appreciate this one more. The chorus really lifts it, with the harmonies, the "bye bye", the accordion; it could have been intensely cheesy, but it's lovely.

  64. J.... H....

    I love this song so much. I included a cover of it, with all harmonies plus so additional ones, on my " Diamonds On The Beach" now living in Hawaii has given it more meaning, but Carl's beautiful singing is what hooked me on this. John Hunter Phillips

  65. t.... l....

    yeah you are spot on there was a great album and a beautiful song..got to see them in adelaide south oz in 1992 best night of my life

  66. t.... l....

    summer in paradise...the best beach boys album since pet sounds..just a pity they get round to making a new album.with brian wilson

  67. D.... W....

    Mike Love ugh......nice contrast when Carl's angelic voice comes in

  68. T.... ....

    Carl's back-up vocals are awesome in this song! Next to Pet Sounds, this is my favorite Beach Boys album, don't care what others say about it.

    T.... ....

    Mike Love, is that you?

  69. J.... H....

    I covered this song on my Cd, "Diamonds On the Beach" by John Hunter Phillips.
    I love this BB song and the entire CD, although many did not. Car's voice was spot-on, as always. The production was crystl clear and the songs catchy.
    JHP

    J.... H....

    Love all your stuff!!! Great work. Thanks for sharing your talents in such an honoring way.

  70. M.... ....

    I actually enjoyed this LP. Even SUMER OF LOVE is great if you like the vision of a creepy old man masturbating to pics of young ladies. This song is a great give and take between Mike and Carl and has great harmonies... Woulda Coulda Shulda been a single.

  71. B.... ....

    Love this song and this album is always dissed which makes me P*ssed!

    B.... ....

    BeachGirlLaw it wasn't that bad of an album as people make it out to be. i also hate how it's dissed.

  72. t.... ....

    Is there any way you could post "Slow Summer Dancin' (One Summer Night)"? There was a version of it yesterday but it definitely wasn't the Boys' version...and in any event, it's now bee taken off.
