HIS GOLDEN STEPPING STONES
By Doug Baker, 7/18/95
Oh these Islands that we've grown to love
In the middle of the sea
Have you ever wondered why that was
And why it was meant to be
I can only quote a theory
And
though it be my own
These pebbles dropped from Heaven
Are
God's personal stepping stones.
Cho: Oh these stepping stones to his place
Lying sprinkled cross the sea
Oh I hope to get to walk upon
If I've earned the right to be
If its true that he's a kind
God
And doesn't like to be alone
Perhaps we'll get the chance
to walk upon
His Golden Stepping Stones
Oh Hawai`i - Lovely Hawai`i
This is
your destiny
For all the world the see
He has given you
the stairway to his home
Perhaps we'll all get the chance to
walk upon
His Golden Stepping Stones.

WHERE LOVE IS EVERYWHERE
By Doug Baker 3/28/78
Egypt has its pyramids - Paris its cafes
London's known for all it's charm - which goes a long, long way
Rio is exciting and all the world agrees
The sunset down in
Athens - a beauty you must see
But there's one place I'll never tire to
be
Over in Hawai`i - feels like home to me
Give me old O`ahu
- any time of year
Here among God's Islands - where love is
everywhere.
So give me lots of sunshine - to keep me
while I'm gone
Many hours of lovin' - 'til I come back home
I'll need you when I'm lonely - my thoughts are of you then
Back in old Hawai`i - where love has always been
Aloha Hawai`i - I'm coming back to you
Cradle me with romance; my love for you is true
Forgive me when
I leave you - it's only for a while
I'll soon return to love
you - with every passing mile
Give
me old O`ahu - anytime of year
Here among God's Islands - where love is everywhere.

THE WORLD'S MOST PRECIOUS TREASURE
By Doug Baker, 10-7-74
Lovely Islands - embraced by the ocean
Soft caressing breezes flow gently o'er her palm trees
(tell
me don't you know)
Of those golden raindrops - sent down from
up above
Cradled in a blanket of love - and nestled in the sea
Bridge: Beautiful Hawai`i - beautiful Hawai`i
You're - The World's Most Precious Treasure
That Island beauty - such a creation
A natural wonder - built with love in mind
(and with great perfection)
A gift from heaven - image of a paradise
Loveliness in her disguise
- lying captured in a dream

THE YOUNG HAWAIIAN
By Doug Baker, 9-22-74
In the spotlight - all eyes are watching
As he runs thru his show
He's sure of somthin' - of what he's
doing
Sets the mood - don't you know
He can sing so soft
and so high
He can bring a tear to your eye
He can rock
- and he can roll
He'll do love - or he'll play soul
The young Hawaiian - he'll get you cryin'
When he's singin' his song
He's got that feelin' - to set you
reelin'
As you listen along
Your heart will move to that
deep bass sound
He'll touch your soul with the beat that he's
found
He plays his music and he lays it down
He'll ease
your mind - if you stay around.

BIG ISLAND (FRIENDLY ISLAND)
By Doug Baker, 12-1-74
Big Island - Big Island
Big Island
- mighty island of Hawai`i
Oh the scenery - Oh what greenery
Simple
but enchanting - perfect for romancing with you
The soft lazy thunder of her waves
Touch
- so gently - on the sane to save those words just written
Telling
you how much I love you.
Bridge: Friendly Island of the sea
Hardly
touched by time - yes, one of a kind - oh
Makes you want to fall in love
With
each star that smiles above - this Polynesian wonder
Lovely
as a paradise should be
Oh, Big Island
And such peacefulness
Relaxing feeling
from the sun caress
Dreams come true - for me and you on Hawai`i

LADY OF KAUA`I
By Doug Baker, 12-12-1978
Over on - the Island of love - I first saw
her there
Swaying to a hula song
With her hands - she told
the story of how it came to be
The Garden Isle of love - called
Kaua`i
The myst'ry of the Island - holds the secret
to romance
The rolling hills of splendor - the trees about them
dance
Her hands express the meaning - while her smile just warms
the air
As her hips reveal the rhythm that seemed nat'ral everywhere
Bridge: Oh Lady of Kaua`i - tell me more
And show me in your special way
About the Isle of love
Her
story- so very ancient
As convincing as could be
While her
body slowly telling
That Island song to me

Ka`anapali - Where I Found You
By Doug Baker, 1985
I met her in Hawai` - she was walking all
alone
On a sandy piece of heaven - with the moonlight shining
down
We looked - into each other's eyes - I could see she felt
it too
There something 'bout these islands - a familiar déjà
vu
Cho: Ka`anapali - where I found you
The angels sing - we're back again
With love so true
We
were sweethearts - from another time
In the this old land of
Mu
Ka`anapali - where I found you
Remember how I promised - to always love
you dear
I searched the whole world over - though it took ten
thousand years
Yet never - had I ever - thought I'd still feel
like I do
Here in these old Islands - this place that we once
knew
Ka`anapali, where I found you.

OH, MOLOKA`I
By Doug Baker, 7-19-91
I know an Island - where I long to be
Alone and lonely - in a quiet part of the sea
Oh Moloka`i -
don't change your ways for me
Stay sweet and simple - the way
things used to be
I need your old ways - need your sanity
Lie in the busom of your valleys so green
And for always - thru
eternity
Oh Moloka`i - be a friend to me
Cho: Oh Moloka`i - sleeper of the sea
Friendly Island - Be a friend to me
I'll never leave your side
- just you wait and see
O Moloka`i - Be a friend to me

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD
By Doug Baker, November 1979
Hawai`i - miss my Hawai`i
Once again
I long - for my Island home
There's no palm trees - no evening
sea breeze
Everything's at home - that's where I belong
Cho: On the other side of the world
There's a lovely Island girl
Longing just be be
Back home
in Waikiki
There's no hula - nothing here like Kona
There's
no mountain top - to make a wish upon
Until then - she'll be
waiting - anticipating
For her return - there's just no place
like home

MR. `UKULELE
By Doug Baker, 12-20-1977
He's the Son of Hawai`i - I'm here to say
He plays the `ukulele so fine
Playin' from the heart - he's
a joy to hear
Taking you to another place in time
He's the master of the pickers - he's taught

He can pick the country too.

He'll play anything that you
want to hear
So come along and join the fun

So if you're in Hawai`i - come on by
He picks them all so easily
You'll love to sit and listen
Your will start to slippin'
Dreamin' of an Island melody

Finish: He's the fastest picker - none could
be quicker
Mr. `Ukulele - Gee---
They'd love ya back in
Tennessee

YOU'RE LOVELY BUT LONELY
By Doug Baker, 7-14-1974
Guess the loneliest place - I've ever been
- is Hawai`i
Every one over there (here) is with someone who
cares - in Hawai`i
Oh how I wish I could hold her tonight
But she's so far away - it just doesn't seem right
For me by
myself - in this paradise - called Hawai`i
The surf and the breeze - the ills and the
trees - sing aloha
It means nothing to me - for she's not with
me - in Hawai`i
Oh you're lovely but lonely - for I've not my
only
To share the beauty of you - your romance is for two
Oh, Hawai`i
Bridge: Every boy has his sweetheart
Every girl has a friend
I walk your beaches at sunset
Just
pretending I'm holding her hand.

DON'T LEAVE ME HERE ALL ALONE
By Doug Baker, 1986
I'm going away - on a fun holiday
Those
Islands are calling to me
She said that she'd meet me - will
she disappoint me
Will she be there as planned - in Hawai`i
God knows how I've missed her - I'm longing to kiss her
Beneath
that tropical moon
Will she keep me here waitin' - Is she hesitatin'
While I'm sitting here writing this tune.
Cho: Don't leave me here all alone
In
Hawai`i - it's no good on your own
It's romance at it's best
- and we all know the rest
Don't leave me here all alone
The airline she's flying - said they'll
keep on trying
To find if my baby flew in
If she doesn't
arrive - I don't think I'll survive
I'll start hurtin' all over
again
She said how she loved me - just had to be with me
But I doubt she remembers her words
So I stare at the tide -
with guitar by my side
Going over those words I told her.

LIE ME HERE AMONG YOUR LOVELINESS
By Doug Baker, 1986
Thru the years - I've come and gone
I've played my songs - about you
Now tired and gray - how the
years slip away
Just one more time - I must see you
Hawai`i - you've been a friend to me
You've brought me melody - when I was blue
Than you for - all
my dreams come true
And the joy that you - have given me
Cho: Lie me here - among your loveliness
Let your breeze caress me forever
Take a flower - from ev'ry
Island
And throw them to the sea
Think now and then of
me
Let me rest - in this land so cherished
And don't be sad - for I still live
As I travel thru - my soul's
journey
I will carry - this love for you

(The Irish Connection)
By Doug Baker, 7-15-1995
We've rendezvous'd around the world - from
the town where we were born
Thru countrysides - over foreign

But there's music everywhere
Your ramblin' man has finally found
His heaven by the sea
Won't ya join my sweet Molly
I'll

In Rio how our hearts beat fast - there
upon the beach
And I recall in Spain thru a pourin' rain - we
danced on cobbled streets
Aye the years have all been dear to
me - I've your lovin' memories
Come and stay with me forever

L.O.V.E. IS HAWAI`I
By Doug Baker, 6-17-1991
Have you ever sat down with a dictionary
Seaching for the meaning of a word
If you look up "Paradise
out on the ocean"
You'll find it - under "H"
- but have heard
There's another way to say Hawai`i
With
a little word we all use everyday
It means friendship - it means
heaven - its aloha
It means caring in such a special way
Bridge:
L - is for the Loveliness about her
O - is for O`ahu - we adore
V - its Very nice to be here once
again
E - with Ev'ry beat of my heart
Oh these letters that spell love are for
Hawai`i
Webster - didn't know his history
If he took the
time to really know these Islands
They'd be listed - under L.O.V.E.

HAWAIIAN BLUE
By Doug Baker, March 1991
Ridin' on a jet palne to the Islands
A business call that I must do alone
Kisses and goodbye from
my Jenna
Our "I Love You" will have to be by phone
The wonder of Hawai`i has such meaning
A gift to this ol' world so long ago
Such loveliness should
not unnoticed
But its magic doesn't work without her
Cho: So I'm blue - Hawaiian Blue
I'm
so sad - from missing you
Oh I'm blue - Hawaiian Blue
In
the middle of this paradise, I'm so blue.
At night time - Its really oh, so lonely
I just can't sleep - wishing she were near
By dawn - my last
tear rop falls upon me
As I stare out at the sea and she's not
here.

TINA
Words & Music by Doug Baker (copyright 1973)
Vs 1
I hold her firm but gentle;
and she feels so good to me.
My fingers touch her softly; and
she speaks so quietly.
She’s with me every evening; and she
lies with me till dawn.
We play together often; though she’s
not my number one.
Vs 2
When I’m sad and blue
she comforts me; where ever we may roam.
At hotels many miles
away; or sometimes right at home.
Bridge:
She makes me smile and cheerful, at times when I’m depressed.
For she knows the sounds I need to hear, to help my thoughts suppress.
Vs 3
I fondle her with meaning, for I truly care
a lot.
And I thank her for the peacefulness, which I know could
not be bought.
Bridge:
I take her all around
the world, and together we do our thing.
Tina talks thru wood
and steel, and me I strum and sing.

Why do we hurt the one we love the one we care about?
We chose the words, that bring the tears, now there is doubt.
I think of you, the things we do, couldn’y give you pain,
Why must it be, two people in love, must play the hurtin’ game?
Chorus:
Easily hurt, is it all worth this hurtin’ game?
They say it’s fate, between love and hate, how feelins’ change.
There goes the mood, there goes her smile, now you’re ashamed.
Why must it be, two people in love, must play the hurtin’ game?
Vs 2
Sometimes you find, you’re so much in love, can’t get her off your mind.

Why must it be, two people in love, must play the hurtin’ game?

Just kickin’ back & krazy ‘bout kona,
My ku-u-ipo and me.

A scooter ride on - highway nineteen,
Up the coast – man what a scene!
Catch the sunset – you know what i mean.
Kickin’ back & krazy ‘bout kona.

Enjoy the view of mauna kea.

Been around this ole world, thought love was lost and gone,
Then i met an island girl, who turned my heart around.

Walked kalakaua avenue, this island girl and me,
Down to the wailana coffee shop, on the outskirts of waikiki.

Didn’t take a mountain top, or a stroll down by the sea
Didn’t take a movie show, or a song by k & c.
Didn’t need a glass of wine, or a soft summer evening breeze,
We found love at the coffee shop, on the outskirts of waikiki.

Now we live up on the hill, my island girl and me.
Looking down on that coffee shop, on the outskirts of waikiki.

Didn’t take a mountain top………………………..

JUST IN FROM HILO BAY
W & M by Doug Baker January 2007

Oh i’m taking a chance, but it’s all for romance.
We hit it off - on the very first glance,
On hawai`i - just in from hilo bay.
2.
I’m big island bound, the hottest lady in town;
Is waiting there - for when the sun goes down,
Beneath the banyans - just in from hilo bay.
Chorus:
I should know better, i know she can change,
Into a rage of fire.
But once seduced, you can’t break loose,
Her burning love - never – tires
3.
So that’s my story, it happened that way,
She took advantage, but i got away,
From madame pele, just in from hilo bay.
Instrumental solo, chorus, vs 3, & end
