I dream of an island,
Far, far away,
Where the tide comes in at morning .,
And the skies are blue all day,

There the sun is always shining,
While the breezes gently blow,
I feel so glad all over,
Away from rain and snow.

On my island of desire,
. I- would be both king and ,.queen,.
And • all my loyal subjects;
Would surround me in my . 0reain.

Oh I'd he so happy,
I'd build a great big fire,
And we'd dance around the trees,
On my island of desire,
