Now I'm waking to the sun
And the softly whispered sound of
The water
A gentle breeze sings a song in my heart
It's good to know my paradise
Was never really lost
And I'm glad you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Hear the sea roll in
And I'll be thinking of you
And being with you again
Hear the night bird cry
Watch the sunset die
Well I'm glad you understand
I just had to go back to the island
Now the day is done and I'm sitting
Here thinking of you
Though your smile always lives in
My heart
It's good to know you'll be here soon
To share it all with me
And I'm glad you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Hear the sea roll in
And I'll be thinking of you
And being with you again
Hear the night bird cry
Watch the sunset die
Well I'm glad you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Hear the sea roll in
And I'll be thinking of you
And being with you again
Hear the night bird cry
Watch the sunset die
Well I'm glad you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Hear the sea roll in
And I'll be thinking of you
And being with you again
Hear the night bird cry
Watch the sunset die
Well I'm glad you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Hear the sea roll in
And I'll be thinking of you
And being with you again
Hear the night bird cry
Watch the sunset die
Well I'm glad you understand
I just had to go back to the island
