Islands in the Stream--lyrics--

Verse 1: Kenny Rogers]

Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown

I set out to get you, with a finetooth comb

I was soft inside

There was something going on

[Verse 2: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]

You do something to me that I can't explain

Hold me closer and I feel no pain

Every beat of my heart

We got something going on

[Pre-Chorus: Kenny Rogers, Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]

Tender love is blind

It requires a dedication

All this love we feel needs no conversation

We ride it together, ah-ah

Making love with each other, ah-ah

[Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]

Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in between

How can we be wrong?

Sail away with me

To another world

And we rely on each other, ah-ah

From one lover to another, ah-ah

if you got no one

And you just walk in the night

Slowly losing sight of the real thing

[Verse 4: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]

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 for the real thing

[Pre-Chorus: Dolly Parton, Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers]

No more will you cry

Baby, I will hurt you never

We start and end as one

I

n love forever

We can ride it together, ah-ah

Making love with each other, ah-ah

[Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]

Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in between

How can we be wrong?

Sail away with me

To another world

And we rely on each other, ah-ah

From one lover to another, ah-ah
