[Verse 1: Kenny Rogers] Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb I was soft inside There was something going on [Verse 2: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton] You do something to me that I can't explain Hold me closer and I feel no pain Every beat of my heart We got something going on [Pre-Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton] Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication All this love we feel needs no conversation We ride it together, ah ha From one love to another, ah ha [Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton] Islands in the stream that is what we are No one in between how can we be wrong Sail away with me to another world And we rely on each other, ah ha From one lover to another, ah ha [Verse 3: Dolly Parton] I can't live without you if the love has gone Everything is nothing when you got no one And you walk in the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing [Verse 4: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton] But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt Too deep in love and we got no way out And the message is clear This could be the year for the real thing [Pre- Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton] No more will you cry, baby, I will hurt you never We start and end as one in love forever We can ride it together, ah ha From one love to another, ah ha [Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton] Islands in the stream that is what we are No one in between how can we be wrong Sail away with me to another world And we rely on each other, ah ha From one lover to another, ah ha [Outro: Kenny Rogers] Oh baby alright [Incomprehensible] superstar that is what you are Coming from afar reaching for stars Fly away with me to another place And we rely on each other, ah ha From one lover to another, ah ha
