Island lyrics

Wake up my love, the sun is shinin out that blue sky up above
Its a brand new day, lets walk outside and let that breeze blow all our cares away.

You know that way back there in that city life
Weve been strangers for so long
Now that I feel like I know you again
I want to stay.

So long ago (yeah), we had a love so warm and bright when we had just begun
That was my last dream, since then Ive watched the rest crumble one by one.

Since weve been on this island yeah its felt so right
Its gettin closer now everyday
Now that I feel like I know you again
I want to stay.

(sha la la sha la la)

You know that on my own I dont make it alone
I need someone who needs me
I only know that wherever you are
I want to be.

But from now on, we wont worry about a thing, yeah the past is gone
This is our last day (yeah), were gonna make sweet love before we sail away.

(fade)
sha la la sha la la
