We sing this song in Hawaii as a farewell. It is commonly sung at church to dear departing friends. It brings me to tears as I sing along in my head. I will miss you Hawaii!
Aloha `oe
Aloha `oe
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
One fond embrace
A ho`i a`e au
Until we meet again
Farewell to you, farewell to you
The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers
One fond embrace,
'Ere I depart
Until we meet again
The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers
One fond embrace,
'Ere I depart
Until we meet again

I just loved reading your sweet post & looking at the darling collage of your Hawaiian experience, Marcie! I bet it's so very sad to leave, but I know that you & your family have many, many wonderful times ahead!
i still have chills on my arms.
i will never forget our ward singing aloha 'oe to us... it's one of my favorite memories.
