C
Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown.
C7
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
F C
I was soft inside, there was something goin' on.
C
You do something to me that I can't explain.
C7 F
Hold me closer and I feel no pain.
C F C
Ev'ry beat of my heart we got something goin' on.
Fmaj7
Tender love is blind. It requires a dedication.
Fm
All this love we feel needs no conversation.
C
We ride it together, uh huh,
makin' love with each other, uh huh.
G7 C F
Islands in the stream, that is what we are,
Dm7
No one in between. How can we be wrong?
C F
Sail away with me to another world,
C
And we rely on each other, uh huh,
Dm7 C
From one lover to another uh huh
C
I can't live without you if the love has gone.
C7
Ev'rything is nothing if you got no one,
F
And you just walk in the night
C F C
Slowly losing sight of the real thing.
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt;
C7
Too deep in love and we got no way out.
F
And the message is clear: this could be the year
C F C
For the real thing.
Fmaj7
No more will you cry, baby, I will hurt you never.
Fm
We start and end as one, in love forever.
C
We can ride it together, uh huh
makin' love with each other, uh huh.
