THERE'S AN ISLAND
Album: Another Time, Another Place (London 1971)
(Writers: Meshel / Welch / Gilutin)
Engelbert Humperdinck


In the pictures that I saw
It looked so pretty
But that's before I lived here
In the city
But there's money to be made
And girl, that's why we stayed
Now it won't be long
Until we're on our way

There's an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day

Girl, we have a dream
Let's not forsake it
Help me find the strength
And we can make it
To where the water's sweet as wine
And it's sunny all the time
And it won't be long until
It's yours and mine

There's an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day

We will be there, you and me there

On an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day

On an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day
