Now the day is gone,
and i sit alone and think of you, girl
what can i do without you in my life?
wond'ring if you love me,
or just making a fool of me
well i hope you understand,
i just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
hear the sea roll in
i'll be thinking of you
and how it might have been
hear the night bird cry
watch the sunset down
well i hope you understand
i just had to go back to the island
For all the sunny skies, it's rainin' in my heart
i know down in my soul i'm really gonna miss you,
but it had to end this way,
with all the games we played
well i hope you understand
i just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
hear the sea roll in
i'll be thinking of you
and how it might have been
hear the night bird cry
watch the sunset down
well i hope you understand
i just had to go back to the island
