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 going on.
You do something to me that I can't explain;
Hold me closer and I feel no pain,
Every beat of my heart;
We�ve got something going on.
Tender love is blind; it requires a dedication;
All this love we feel needs no conversation;
We can ride it together, uh-uh,
Making love with each other, uh-uh.
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, uh-uh,
From one lover to another, uh-uh.
I can't live without you if the love was gone;
Everything is nothing if you�ve got no one,
And you did walk in the night,
Slowly losing sight of the real thing.
But that won't happen to us, and we�ve got no doubt;
Too deep in love and we�ve 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, uh-uh,
Making love with each other, uh-uh.
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, uh-uh,
From one lover to another, uh-uh.
Sail away.
Oh, come sail away with me.
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, uh-uh,
From one lover to another, uh-uh.
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, uh-uh,
From one lover to another, uh-uh.
