Island of My Dreams
There is a special island that's known to none but me
I can really only go there in my deepest sleep you see
Trade winds do softly blow soft upon my cheek
And my heart finds the quiet places that I seek
There is the sound of water falling from a fount
And the flowers are just to numerous to count
The ocean softly beats a rhythm on the shore
And the birds sing their songs just beyond my door
I know I visit this healing place only in my mind
Yet here I come to rest and heal the wounds I find
I could not really tell you the direction or the way
But if you find your island, you will surely want to stay
