Tropical Dreams

There is an island somewhere And a woman with deep dark eyes While the Southern Cross is hanging In the Caribbean's star filled skies If I could find my way and return To the way it was back then Just to hold her in my arms You know I'd do it all again It was a tropical paradise And the sun seemed to always shine I can close my eyes and see the sand And feel her body pressed close to mine Those feelings haunt my dreams Though I know it isn't right I still reach out to hold her In the middle of the night Now my boat is in the harbor Anchor's on the ocean floor While I dream of days to come When I set sail once more.
