lyrics

Island in the Sun

Fruit on the trees,
Sun in the sky.
People smiling and free
As we walk by.
Bananas, mangoes, papayas too,
Weather just right with nothing to do.

Big city life is getting me down,
Can't seem to find my peace of mind anymore.
Pleasure and wealth,
Won't bring me health,
Luxury cars and colour T.V.'s,
Everything so busy I don't have time to breathe.

Take me back to that island in the sun.
Always time to sit and sip coconuts,
Everyone late,
So nice to wait,
Not have to rush.
Not so alone,
When everyone invites you home.
Taking long walks along the shore,
Beaches galore.
Mosquitoes and me,
We're flying free.
