Baby when I met you there was peace unknown 
I set out to get you with a fine [bad word] 
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, uh huh 
Making love with each other, uh huh 

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 huh 
From one lover to another, uh huh 

I can't live without you if the love was gone 
Everything is nothing when you got no one 
And you 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 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 huh 
Making love with each other, uh huh 

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 huh 
From one lover to another, uh huh 

Sail away 
Can 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 huh 
From one lover to another, uh huh...
