Island in the stream

Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown.
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
I was soft inside, there was something goin' on.

You do something to me that I can't explain.
Hold me closer and I feel no pain,
Ev'ry beat of my heart, we got something goin' on.

Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication
All this love we feel needs no conversation.
We ride it together, makin' love with each other.

Islands in the stream that is what we are,
No one in between, how can we be wrong.
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other from one lover to another.

I can't love without you if the love was gone.
Ev'rything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night slowly losin' sight of the real thing.

But than won't happen to us and we got no doubt,
Too deep in love and we got no way out and the message is clear, this could be the year for the real thing

No more will you cry, baby, I will hurt you never. We start and end as one in love forever.
We can ride it together, makin' love with each other . . .
Sailing, hey, you can sail away with me.

Islands in the stream that is what we are, . ..
