Kenny Rogers - Islands In The Stream (Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton lyrics

rate me

Islands In the Stream (Duet - Male & Female)

(male)

Baby when I met you there was peace unknown

I set out to get you with a fine-toothed comb.

I was soft inside there was something going on

(male & female both)

you do something to me that I can't explain

Hold me closer and i feel no pain ev'ry beat of my heart

We got something going on

(male)

Tender love is blind

It requires a dedication

Male & female)

All this love we feel needs no conversation

CHORUS:

We ride it together uh huh

makin'love with each other uh huh

Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in be-tween how can we be wrong

Sail away with me to another world

And we re-ly on each other uh huh

From one lover to another uh huh

(female sings)

I can't live without you if the love was gone

Ev'rything is nothing if you got no one

And you did walk in the night

Slowly losin sight of the real thing

(male & female)

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

Too deep in love and we got no way out

And the message is clear this could be the year

of the real thing

(female)

No more will you cry baby I will hurt you never

(Male & female)

We start and end as one in love forever

we can ride it together uh huh

makin' love with each other uh huh

Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in be-tween how can we be wrong

Sail away with me to another world

And we re-ly on each other uh huh

From one lover to another uh huh

Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in be-tween how can we be wrong

Sail away with me to another world

And we re-ly on each other uh huh

From one lover to another uh huh

Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in be-tween how can we be wrong

Sail away with me to another world

And we re-ly on each other uh huh

From one lover to another uh huh
