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 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 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 is gone

 Everything is nothing when you got no one

 And you did 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 messages is clear

 This could be the year of the real thing.

No more will you cry baby I will hurt you never.

 We start and end as one in love forever

 We 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.

Islands in the stream

No one in between how can we be wrong?

 Sail away with me to another world

 And we rely on each other uh huh
