Mighty Lonesome for Lord Howe

I’m mighty lonesome for Lord Howe tonight I’m missing her more every day I can picture the moon so polite As she shines high over North Bay I’d like to be down at Nathan’s boatshed Watching Coral Princess depart With the sun pearing down overhead What a cure for a lonely heart I miss those swaying palms Those island charms The places I hold so dear I miss the clouds that hang upon the mountain tops But there far away And I’m lonely here If only dreaming could make it come true My heart would be filled with delight But just at the moment I’m blue And mighty lonesome for lord howe tonight I miss those swaying palms The island charm the places I hold so dear I miss the surf that breaks on Blinky beach But there far away and I’m lonely here Forget the dreaming because Its all true I’ve lived on Lord Howe so know That when Christmas comes every year That’s the place where we all want to go I miss those swaying palms The island charms The places I hold so dear I miss the golden sands and friendly hands but there far away and I’m lonely here If only dreaming could make it come truly heart would be filled with delight But just at the moment I’m blue and mighty lonesome for lord howe tonight Yes just at the moment I’m blue and mighty lonesome for lord howe tonight
