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 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, ah, ha   Making love with each other, ah, ha      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, ah, ha   From one lover to another, ah, ha      I can't live without you if the love was gone   Everything is nothing if you got no one   And you just walk in the night   Slowly losing sight of the real thing      But that 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 of 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, ah, ha   Making love with each other, ah, ha      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'll rely on each other, ah, ha   From one lover to another, ah, ha      Sail away, sail away   Sail away with me   One, two      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'll rely on each other, ah, ha   From one lover to another, ah, ha      Here we go   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'll rely on each other, ah, ha   From one lover to another, ah, ha
