Kiss And Never Tell - John A. Noble
 

ʻAuhea ʻoe e ke onaona lā
I ka hoa laʻi o ke ahiahi
Kāua i ka laʻi aumoe
Kiss and never tell

Ke ano mai nei ka nahele lā
ʻAʻohe manu o ke kula
Kāua i ka holoholo mahina lā
Kiss and never tell

No ka liʻa anuhea ke aloha lā
I ka hāliʻaliʻa ʻana mai
Kāua i ka laʻi ʻiuʻiu
Kiss and never tell

Goodby ke aloha ahiahi
Hoapili no ka hāliʻa
E hoʻi mai kāua e pili
Kiss and never tell

Listen sweet
Gentle companion of the evening
We two in the midnight calm
Kiss and never tell

The forest is silent
No birds on the plain
We two on a moonlight walk
Kiss and never tell

Sweet yearning for the beloved
At the sudden fond recollection
We two in the far away calm
Kiss and never tell

Goodby love of the evening
Companion of fond recollection
Let's meet again
Kiss and never tell
