Carpenters - Honolulu City Lights

Honolulu City Lights" is a song composed by Keola Beamer in the early 1970s. Richard and Karen were vacationing in Hawaii in 1977 when they heard the Beamer Brothers' recording of "Honolulu City Lights." They liked it and recorded it in 1978 during the same sessions as the Christmas song recordings for what was intended to have been a 10th-anniversary album. But circumstances intervened and the album was never released. The recording was released on a 45 rpm single in 1986, three years after Karen's death, and the song finally appeared on the "Lovelines" album in 1989.
