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 has gone.
Ev'rything 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
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.
