Biographical details

by Jerome Kern and Henry Kailimai,  On the Shore at Le Lei Wi (1916)

“ On the shore at Le Lei Wi, If you go there you will see, He's still waiting day by day, But she has flown away. [Refrain]
And the stars shining in their distant places, Far above the sea, Know a hundred just such cases, On the shore at Le Lei Wi. [Verse]
On the shore at Le Lei Wi, Lovers play their comedy, Some depart but others come, And only one tune hum. [Refrain]
While the stars shining in their distant places, Far above the sea, Watch the old lies light new faces, On the shore at Le Lei Wi.
