Islands In The Stream

Islands in the Stream was originally written by the Gibb brothers, better known as the Bee Gees, for Marvin Gaye, but it ended up being recorded by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton in 1983. The song became a huge commercial success, topping the charts in the United States.

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, uh huh
Makin' 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
Ev'rything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losin' 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
Makin' 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
I can sail away. Be 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
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
