Island lyrics

Wake up, my love

The sun is shining out there, blue sky up above

It's a brand new day

Let's walk outside and let that breeze

Blow all our cares away

You know that way back there in that city life

We've been strangers for so long

Now that I feel like I know you again

I wanna 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 I've watched the rest just crumble one by one

Since we've been running silent, yeah, it felt so right

It's getting closer now everyday

Now that I feel like I know you again

I wanna stay

You know that on my own, I don't make it alone

I need someone who needs me

I only know that wherever you are

I wanna be

But from now on

We won't worry 'bout a thing

Yeah, the past is gone

This is our last day (yeah)

We're gonna make sweet love before we sail away
