(male vocal)
I thought we had the perfect home in paradise
I thought everything was oh so nice
Regal palm trees swaying up and down the shore
Exotic blossoms that you can not find in stores

Gentle trade winds blowing through your long dark hair
Blushing rainbows hanging in the misty air
Soaring sea birds gliding through the tropic blue
Wishing sometimes I could fly away with you

Emerald waves breaking cross the sandy beach
The rushing waters nipping at our fleeting feet
Driftwood fires glowing in the twilight’s eve
Holding you and you holding me

Pale pacific moon shining way up high
A distant sound from a ukulele lullaby
I gaze upon your face against the starry sky
Why does it look like you’re about to cry?

I thought we had the perfect home in paradise
I thought everything was oh so nice
I have to tell you that I’ve found somebody new
And there isn’t anything that we can do

I tried everything I could to love you
But when we kissed I wasn’t really thinking of you
I just can’t love you and it isn’t fair
I never meant to hurt you honey that I swear

(male vocal)
Can’t you see the teardrops falling from my eyes
Can’t you see your way to give it one more try
Maybe there’s some magic that lingers in our life
Can’t we talk this over dear and make things right

(female vocal)
No I can’t and I think it’s time I go away
There’s really nothing more for you and me to say
I think it’s time for me to go and pack my things
I think it’s time for me to give you back your ring

(male vocal)
And then she turned away and walked into the night
I just sat there all alone till the morning light
It’s hard for me to believe that we would ever part
And she’d leave me here with my shattered heart

I thought we had the perfect home in paradise
I thought everything was oh so nice
How could I know I’d be a man deceived
I guess we close our eyes to things we don’t wanna see

(male vocal)
Island breeze take me away
My love says she can not stay
Island breeze take me away, away, away
Pounding surf wash over me
Take her memory far out to sea
Island breeze take me away, away, away
Like the sun setting into the sea
A sinking feeling comes down on me
Island breeze take me away, away, away
Island breeze blow through my mind
Bring back the happier times
Island breeze take me away, away, away
Island breeze blow through my mind
Bring back the happier times
Island breeze, Island breeze, please take me away.
Take me away, take me away, take me away, take me away
