Island Song

by Bruce Crichton
performed by Edwin McCain and Larry Chaney

you can leave the island
but you can't leave my love
you can't take back what you gave away
you can leave the island
but you can't leave my heart
you know the memory remains
of the moonlit nights
and the stars were high
you can see Savannah shine across the waves
dance along the shore
take our time for more
and all along you know our hearts will sing

Chorus
you can leave the island
but you can't leave my love
you can't take back what you gave away
you can leave the island
but you can't leave my heart
you know the memory remains

and I loved you
from the moment we first met
thinkin of you
and I never will forget
and the feeling
had me reeling
I can't believe it
it's so easy
to be free
of the moonlit nights
and the stars were high

you can see Savannah shine across the waves
I know you must move on
and I will carry on
as long as the memory remains

Chorus

the feeling rarely ever fades
and how I wish the you could stay
