On  a little bamboo bridge  By the waters of Kalua,
 Beneath Hawaiian  skies I fell in love with you.
On  a little bamboo bridge  By the waters of Kalua,
 We found a paradise,  A paradise for two.
 While we were gazing in  the water,
 The silvery ripples  kissed the shore,
 And your reflection  in the water
 Seemed to say you'd be mine for evermore.
On  a little bamboo bridge  By the waters of Kalua,
 You made my dreams  come true, Sweetheart, when I found you!

[F#]On a little [Bb7b5]bamboo [Eb7]bridge  By the waters of Ka[Ab7]lua,
Beneath Ha[C#7]waiian skies  I fell in love with [F#]you.

[F#]On a little [Bb7b5]bamboo [Eb7]bridge   By the waters of Ka[Ab7]lua,
We found a [C#7]paradise,   A paradise for [F#]two.

While we were [B]gazing [Bm]in    the [F#]water,
The [B]silvery [Bm]ripples kissed the [F#]shore,
And your re[Ab7]flection in the water
Seemed to say you'd be mine for ever[C#7]more.

[F#]On a little [Bb7b5]bamboo [Eb7]bridge   By the waters of Ka[Ab7]lua,
You made my [C#7]dreams come true,  Sweetheart, when I found [F#]you!
