Island In The Sun

Minnie Riperton


If you come with me 
I will show you things you always dreamed of 
We can make it happen on our island in the sun 

Every morning we will swim in 
Cool clear sparkling waters 
Wrapped in purple satin nights 
We'll make slow love 

If you come with me 
Please bring all your secret yernings 
You'll find what you need on our island in the sun 
Close your eyes and you will hear the palm trees gently swaying 
I can hardly wait to get my hands on you 

Time is wastin' 
Come pluck the fruit your mind is tastin' 
Or will you keep on chasin' 
"If only it could be" 

If you come with me 
We'll live happy ever after 
We could be so free on our island in the sun 
Secret thoughts your heart conceals like ancient buried
treasures 
Will at last be whispered in love's ear 

Time is wastin' 
Come pluck the fruit your mind is tastin' 
Or will you keep on chasin' 
"Oh, If only it could be" 

Come with me 
We could be so free 
If you come with me 
We could be so happy 
Come to my island 
Come to my island 
Come to my island
