Once More

Once more I dream of the islands Once more I yearn for the sea To see a sailboat out on the horizon As you walk the shore hand in hand with me Yesterday’s memories haunt me Tearing this heart from my chest I long to gaze into your eyes again Lay all of my heartaches to rest You captured my soul with your dark Spanish eyes I was a sailor so young and so wild We stole the lightning from out of the skies I followed your lead like a child Now my mind carries me back to that Island See your smile, your skin softly tanned Beneath the stars on that tropical paradise On a blanket we laid in the sand Once more I’d like to awaken With the tropical sun in my eyes Once more I’d like to set sail Find my own little Paradise Once more to sail beneath the Southern Cross Live and love in the tropical sun Once more find myself in your arms again At peace when the day is done.
