ISLAND FRAME OF MIND

CHORUS:
Oh, to hear your voice again
Stirring embers from within
To be remembered is, my friend
A way to fan the flames
Of a flickering, innocent love once again
We met on paradise
A week of the island's slower pace
We called it "island frame of mind"
Such a beautiful, glorious, mystical place
Trading neckties for Mai-Tais
Exotic flowers, shimmering sea and sand
Melting bodies in the sun
Making love in the starlight to the tropical band
REPEAT CHORUS
It tore my heart we had to leave
Off to busy, city lives we flew
Did you pack me in your suitcase
I had room in mine and I took you
Home again once more
With only photographs of a magical time
Then you surprise me at the door
We hug and kiss that island frame of mind
REPEAT CHORUS
Well, if you want to know the truth
It's just a fantasy of mine
Still I feel like we were there
It's a frame of mind we're free to find
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
