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
i'll be thinking of you
and being with you again

hear the nightbird 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
you know 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
i'll be thinking of you
and being with you again

hear the nightbird 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
i'll be thinking of you
and being with you again

hear the nightbird 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
i'll be thinking of you
and being with you again

hear the nightbird 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
i'll be thinking of you
and being with you again

hear the nightbird cry
watch the sunset die
well, i'm glad you understand
i just had to go back to the island
