Lyrics for Sweet Leilani

Sweet Leilani Heavenly flower Nature fashioned roses kissed with dew And then she placed them in a bower It was the start of you. Sweet Leilani Heavenly flower I dreamed of paradise for two. You are my paradise completed. You are my dream come true. Sweet Leilani Heavenly flower
