The Manhattan Singers — Bali Ha'i (From "South Pacific") lyrics

Lyrics

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 would like to be.
Bali hai may call you
any night, any day
in your heart, you will hear it call you
come away, come away
Bali hai will whisper
on the wind of the sea
Here am I, your special island
come to me, come to me Your own special wants
your own special dreams
you’ll wander hills
find shining streams
If you try and find me where the sky meets the sea
Here am i your special island
come to me, come to me Bali hai, bali hai, bali hai
Someday you’ll see me floating in the sunshine
my head sticking out
of a low-flying cloud
You’ll hear me calling
singing through the sunshine
sweet and clear as could 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 hai, bali hai, bali hai…
