My sweet Maui, my Cavalier King,
You brought such joy to everything.
You made me oh so happy, yes you did,
With all our memories, joyfully hid.
I loved you then, I love you now,
Saying goodbye? I don’t know how.
I want to let you go, but I don’t want to part,
You’ll always have my whole, entire heart.
Why did you have to go away?
I wish that you were here today.
The thought of you in heaven makes me frown,
To know how far you went is bringing me down.
But then I think of your new grace,
No more pain in that heavenly place.
For your relief, I shout hooray!
Even if losing you makes me sick today.
Rest well, sweet Maui, my little King,
Thank you for the happiness you’d bring.
