Islands in the Stream

(C)Baby, when I met you, there was peace unknown.

I set out to get you with a finetooth comb.

I was (Fsus2)soft in the side;

there was something (G7sus)going on.

thing.

But You do something to me that I can't explain;

too hold me closer and I feel no pain.

Ev'ry (Fsus2)beat of my heart, we got something (G7sus)going on.

thing.

Tender love is (Fsus2)blind;

it requires a dedication.

All this love we feel needs no conversation.

We (C)ride it together, uhhuh,

from one love to another, uhhuh.

Islands in the stream,

that is what (F)we are.

No one in (Dm7)between;

how can we be wrong?

Get away (C)with me to (F)another world,

and we (C)rely on each other,

uhhuh, from one (Dm7)lover to another,

(C)uhhuh.

(C)I can't live without you if the love has gone.

Ev'rything is nothing when you got no one,

and you (Fsus2)walk in the night,

slowly losing sight (G7sus)of the thing.

But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt;

too deep in love, and we got no way out.

And the (Fsus2)message is clear;

this could be the year (G7sus)of the thing.

No more will you (Fsus2)cry;

baby, I will hurt you never.

We and end as one, in love forever.

We can (C)ride it together, uhhuh,

from one love to another, uhhuh.

Islands in perstar;

that is what (F)you are,

coming from (Dm7)afar,

reaching for the stars.

Far away (C)with me
