Lately I've been thinking  About time and how the days went slipping by  How I was always dreaming  Of all the places I would see and go in my life  So many things I meant to do  Until the minute that I first saw you  And I made up my mind  If there's a paradise    I couldn't find my way there  I wouldn't want to stay there  It wouldn't be the same there  Without you  See, I'd have no one to hold there  I'd be all alone there  Even heaven would be nowhere  Without you    Staying here is easy  Cause you know you always keep me satisfied  There's nowhere that I've heard of  That could make me leave your love behind  When you're lying next to me  I'm right here where I want to be  I've made up my mind  If there's a paradise    [Chorus]    An island in the blue sea  A paradise it might be  But that means nothing to me  Without you    [Chorus]
