Islands in the Stream Lyrics

(Originally by Bee Gees) 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 makin' love with each other. 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 from one lover to another. I can't love 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 than 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 makin' love with each other . . . Sailing hey you can sail away with me. Islands in the stream that is what we are (Thanks to Aroha for these lyrics)
