What Can I Give You

What can I give you for Christmas?
Santa doesn't have it in his bag.
What can I give you for Christmas?
Only my love on a Christmas tag.

Bridge:
I can't buy you jewels
Or other priceless gems,
I don't even have
The price to sew my hems

So, what can I give you for Christmas?
Only my love and may God bless

After The Rain

Hilo's beautiful after the rain
Sunny skies, happy smiles,
Sweet refrain, after the rain

Maile fills the air, cool crisp and clean
Children play, happy day
Run again, after the rain

Bridge:
And the shades of evergreen
Forever will haunt your dreams

You will always say after you've gone
I'll return back to you
Hilo town, after the rain
