For once in a lifetime
I truly believed
That love could sing like a Amakihi
I first saw you in Koolina Lagoon
You were no mermaid
You were a beauty
You cut through water
Like a Manta Ray
You danced like a Naïa in Maunalua Bay
You moved me you moved everybody around
Every time you landed on Big Island.
Mahalo Suzie
You're opening my Pukalani
As I was driftin' in Wailuku
I kissed your lips
I was rescued
You told me Aloha
And I didn't know why
I was suddenly giggling and smiling
From the bay to the lagoon
We walked and we shared
Happy sad stories under the blue moon
I right away forgot my burden
When you took my hand
To lead me to Moloka'i
Mahalo Suzie....
Mahalo Suzie
You're opening my Pukalani
Now for a lifetime
I truly believe
That love can sing like a Amakihi
I still see you in Koolina Lagoon
You're no mermaid
You're a beauty
