(Him)
– 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 goin' on.

(Both)
– 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 goin' on.

(Him)
– Tender love is blind;
it requires a dedication.

(Both)
– All this love we feel
needs no conversation.

We ride it together, ah, ah,
makin' love with each other, ah, ah.

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.

(Her)
– I can't live without you
if the love was gone.

Everything is nothing
if you got no one.

And you did walk in the night,
slowly losing sight
of the real thing.

(Both)
– 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.

(Her)
– No more will you cry:
baby, I will hurt you never.

(Both)
– We start and end as one
in love forever.

We can ride it together, ah, ah,
makin' love with each other, ah, ah.

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.

(Him) – Sail away.
(Her) – Oh, come sail away with me.

(Both)
– 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.

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.

Islands in the stream…
