Marty Robbins - Island Echoes (Hawaii's Calling Me)
The same old island echoes
Are stealing through the trees
They bring back moments tender
To fill my memory
Now I'm alone in moonlight
That you and I had shared
Pretending we're together
Remembering how you cared
The laughter and the good times
The many things we planned
The romance in the moonlight
Castles in the sand
I love those island echoes
Echoes they must be
Till some glad tomorrow
When you come back to me
The laughter and the good times
The many things we planned
Romance in the moonlight
Castles in the sand
I love the island echoes
Echoes they must be
Until some glad tomorrow
When you come back to me
Marty Robbins Sings 'Crying Steel Guitar Walz& Island Echoes (04:15)
According to Jerry Byrd the renowned steel guitarist, the main thing that attracted Marty Robbins to
Hawaiian music was the chance to sing falsetto. He sang it most Hawaiian music beautifully as he did
with anything he attempted. Why Marty Robbins is not up there with all the great vocalists of the
last century continues to puzzle me as he was such an immensely talented vocalist who could sing any
kind of song and be right at home with any genre of music.
