[Intro – gentle steel drum riff, soft shaker rhythm, distant wave foley] Golden light spills over the shore Your laugh floats in, I want nothing more [Verse 1 – rolling reggae bass, light guitar skank, relaxed tempo] Met you down by the coconut stand You were twisting a flower in your hand Said you liked my beat-up sandals, my messy hair I knew right then I’d always care We walked barefoot through the white sand haze Talked till the moon took the sun’s place Your hand in mine, the tide rolling slow I never wanted that night to go [Chorus – soaring steel drum hook, full reggae rhythm, warm harmonies] Oh, your love’s like the island glow Soft and sweet, it makes my heart grow Every day with you’s a gentle breeze You’re the only one who puts my soul at ease Your love’s like the island glow Chasing away every shadow I know I’ll stay right here, where the palm trees sway Loving you more with every passing day [Verse 2 – muted guitar skank, subtle organ hum, laid-back energy] Woke up this morning to your sleepy smile You were humming that old reggae style Made us coffee with too much cream Said “baby, let’s just live the dream” We took the boat out to the coral reef Watched the fish swim where the water’s deep You kissed me slow when the sun went down Said “I’m never gonna let you drown” [Chorus – soaring steel drum hook, full reggae rhythm, warm harmonies] Oh, your love’s like the island glow Soft and sweet, it makes my heart grow Every day with you’s a gentle breeze You’re the only one who puts my soul at ease Your love’s like the island glow Chasing away every shadow I know I’ll stay right here, where the palm trees sway Loving you more with every passing day [Bridge – stripped-back bassline, soft steel drum accents, intimate vocals] I’ve been lost in storms and lonely tides Wandered through dark and empty nights But you found me, washed up on the shore Gave me love I never thought I’d afford No more running, no more hiding With you, my heart’s finally riding On the waves of love that never end My island girl, my only friend [Chorus – climactic steel drum hook, full band, layered harmonies] Oh, your love’s like the island glow Soft and sweet, it makes my heart grow Every day with you’s a gentle breeze You’re the only one who puts my soul at ease Your love’s like the island glow Chasing away every shadow I know I’ll stay right here, where the palm trees sway Loving you more with every passing day [Outro – fading steel drum riff, soft shaker, distant wave foley] Golden light spills over the shore Your love’s the one I’m living for
