1.     Most people live on a lonely island,

    lost in the middle of a foggy sea.

C                                                 F

    Most people long for another island,

    one where they know they would like to be.

Bali Ha'i may call you, any night, any day,

in your heart, you'll hear it call you: "Come away, come away !"

"Here am I, your special island ! Come to me, come to me !"

    bloom on the hillside and shine in the streams.

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."

2. Someday you'll see me, floatin' in the sunshine,

    my head stickin' out from a low lyin' cloud.

       Dm    G           C          Dm          G             C

    You'll hear me call you, singin' through the sunshine,

    sweet and clear as can be !

                      C

    "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 !"

        Dm           F   - G            C

Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i,        Bali Ha'i!
