Honolulu City Lights is a song composed by Keola Beamer in the early 1970s. A cover was done by Richard and Karen Carpenter in 1978, but was not released until 1988 on single, and 1989 on CD.
[edit] The Carpenters' cover
According to the official website, Richard and Karen were vacationing in Hawaii in 1977 when they heard Keola Beamer's "Honolulu City Lights." They liked it, and wanted to record it, and recorded it at the same session as "Slow Dance". They didn't release it commercial until five years after Karen Carpenter's death. They finally released it in 1988, a year before it was released on the Lovelines CD.
