I would like to disappear
And suddenly re-emerge
On a distant, uncharted isle.
Why should we linger here?
Say yes, if you've got the urge
To get away for a while.
Let me sail away with you
To an island built for two,
Where the ocean knows it's true:
Love is a mystical blend of green and blue.
Stroll with me along that shore,
Underneath the dazzling moon;
Let the ocean's roar restore
Our restless hearts, as we quietly commune.
Go ahead, now, cast your cares
Into the wild, moonlit waves;
Be at peace in the soft starlight.
Turn your sad sighs into prayers,
And observe how the moon behaves.
This is your world and mine tonight.
Let me stay right beside you
On this island built for two,
Where the ocean knows it's true:
Love is a mystical blend of green and blue.
Stroll with me along this shore,
Underneath the dazzling moon;
Let the ocean's roar restore
Our restless hearts, as we quietly commune.
[long instrumental interlude]
Leave the hustle and bustle far behind;
Soothe your weary soul and clear your mind.
On that distant, placid isle we'll find
A sanctuary where we can unwind.
Dream new dreams out on the shore,
Underneath the dazzling moon;
Let the ocean's roar restore
Our restless hearts, as we quietly commune.
[brief instrumental interlude]
No long list of things to do...
On an island built for two...
On an island built for two...
On an island built for two.
