ISLAND GIRL

(Tropical acoustic vibe, laid-back but emotionally charged)

[Intro]
(Acoustic guitar, soft island beat building in)
Island girl...

[Verse 1]
Island girl, I’ve got my eyes on you,
Loving the way you move, babe, so smooth.
Longing for your hand, take my song,
Take me where you belong, come on.
Together, island girl, just me and you,
We can groove, baby, we can find our groove.

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you don’t know what you’ve been missin’,
But when I catch you, babe, it’s all night kissin’.
Feelin' those waves, goin' deep sea fishin’,
Makin' love, island girl, we’re on a mission.

[Chorus]
Island girl, you’re the one I adore,
You’ve got my heart, and so much more.
Your heat, turnin' me to steam,
To gaze at you, girl, it’s like a dream.
I’ll bring the ice, we’ll melt together,
Tropical nights, girl, now and forever.

[Verse 2]
Sweet island girl, you’re all in my dreams,
Your touch so tender, like warm summer beams.
To hold you close, under the stars,
Where we’re lost in love, no matter how far.
Tropical tunes and a lover’s sound,
Baby, with you, I’m never comin' down.
I melt into your almond eyes,
Lost in the glow of your gaze tonight.

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you don’t know what you’ve been missin’,
But when I catch you, babe, it’s all night kissin’.
Feelin' those waves, goin' deep sea fishin’,
Makin' love, island girl, we’re on a mission.

[Chorus - Shortened]
Island girl, you’re the one I adore,
You’ve got my heart, girl, and so much more.
Your heat, turnin' me to steam,
To gaze at you, girl, it’s like a dream.

(Short instrumental break)

[Bridge]
(Spoken softly, with background harmonies)
Underneath the moon, where the waves roll in,
I’m callin’ your name, and I can’t wait to begin.
Let’s drift away, just you and I,
In this island dream, we’ll never say goodbye.
I melt into your almond eyes,
And in that gaze, all our time flies.

[Chorus - Outro]
Island girl, you’re the one I adore,
You’ve got my heart, and so much more.
Your heat, turnin' me to steam,
To gaze on you, girl, it’s like a dream.

(Fading into soft instrumental as waves crash gently)
Island girl...
Island girl...

When I complete the prayer I began last nite, I shall recall Islands like Jamaica, St. Kitts, Trinidad, St. Vincent (sadly Grenada lost to Germany - but not in the WORLD Cup). Collaboration in Poetry & Song is so lyrical & beautiful. Blessings

You created this poem so brilliantly it is as if it was only written by one. A really wonderful collaboration from you both! : )

We develop the story idea and the setting before we pen the first word. That congruence of thought hopefully pays off in a seamless write. Thank you for your kind confirmation of what we set out to do.

Wow! What a wonderfully steamy collaboration, Dave and Jan! The reader can feel the rhythm in each line. "Island Girl" is sure to place high in the contest. Best wishes to both of you, Carolyn
