Island Song

you can leave the island but you can't leave my love

and you can't take back what you gave away

you can leave the island but you can't leave my heart

'cause this memory remains

of the moonlit nights

when the stars were high

we could see Savannah shine across the waves

we could dance along the shore

and take our time for more

and all along I know our hearts will say

you can leave the island but you can't leave my love

and you can't take back what you gave away

you can leave the island but you can't leave my heart

'cause the memory remains

and I loved you

from the moment that we met I'm thinkin' of you

and I never will forget...

how the feelin' came a reelin',

so easy to be ... so free

on a moonlit night

when the stars are high

we can see Savannah shine across the waves

now I know you must move on...

but I'll never be alone

as long as this memory remains

and I've loved you

from the moment that we met I'm thinkin' of you

and I never will forget...

how the feelin' came a reelin',

so easy to be... so free

you can leave the island but you can't leave my love

and you can't take back what you gave away

you can leave the island but you can't leave my heart

'cause the memory remains...

this feelin' rarely ever fades...

and how I wish,

how I wish, how I wish you'd stay
