Alone Again Once More - E Ku'u Morning Dew

Hi there, YouTubers... Here is that cover of Melveen Leed's English version of E Ku'u Morning Dew by Eddie Kamae and his wife, Myrna, with Larry Kimura that I've been threatening you all with lately. I was inspired to do this cover by keonepax's nice video of the Hawaiian language version of E Ku'u Morning Dew.
I decided to do Melveen Leed's English language adaptation/medley version just to be different.

I made this video during daylight hours and the lighting is horrid. It makes me look like I've got a black eye, but it's really just bad lighting. I have to keep reminding myself that YouTube is about participation not perfection. :)

Here's links!

Here's the lyrics:

E Ku`u Morning Dew / Alone Again Once More

Medley composed and as sung by Melveen Leed
Original E Ku`u Morning Dew: Music by Eddie Kamae
Hawaiian words by Larry Kimura

To you alone I say:
Wait for me, wait for me
The days go slowly by
Without you close to me

A-standing on a hill
Looking down all around
Awaiting your return to me
Once more

E ku`u morning dew
Alia mai, alia mai
Maliu mai `oe i ka`u e hea nei
E kali mai `oe, ia`u nei, ia`u nei
`O wau iho nô me ke Aloha

I thought of moving on
Pack a bag, on my way
I came upon that poem
you gave me yesterday

There's no one else to see
So I know it's time to go
I'm going along my way
Alone once more

E ku`u morning dew
Alia mai, alia mai
To you alone I say:
Wait for me

E ku`u morning dew
Alia mai, alia mai
--------------------------

Enjoy!

@Olehala Thank you for that information. It is helpful.

[Olehala]

Very Nice rendition. Just for future reference. E Ku'u Morning Dew (Hawaiian Lyrics) was written by Larry Kimura. Music is by both Eddie & Merna Kamae. Alone "Again" Once More is actually titled Alone Once More. Words to that were composed by Merna Kamae alone. Me Ke Aloha - Na Palapalai
