Lyrics
In the rhythm of the altitude The ocean crashes on the rocks below And the moonlight fills the sky And the warm breeze brushes by Just another island evening under the glow Sun shining, shining The sun will be shining Shining, shining Shine on to bring life to everything It's time to welcome another beginning Shine on, shine on Another new day It's time to share in the warmth of the island Can you feel the heat? Life is always sweet Can you feel the heat? Even if my island dream... Is just a dream Is just a dream
