Lyrics
[verse]
Last summer down a southern shore
I found a place I'm longing for
Palm trees swaying, ocean breeze
Whispered secrets through the trees
[verse]
I met a stranger with a guitar song
Played me something warm and long
Told me stories of the sun
Of island nights that never come undone
[chorus]
Take me back to the beautiful island
Where the nights are warm and the stars align
Take me back to the beautiful island
Dancing slow under palms and sky
La isla bonita, that's where my heart will always fly
[verse]
Now I'm home but I still dream
Of that shoreline, of that gleam
Every night I close my eyes
I'm back beneath those island skies
[chorus]
Take me back to the beautiful island
Where the nights are warm and the stars align
Take me back to the beautiful island
Dancing slow under palms and sky
La isla bonita, that's where my heart will always fly
[bridge]
Guitar strings and ocean tide
Nothing left to run or hide
Someday soon I'll find my way
Back to where I want to stay
[chorus]
Take me back to the beautiful island
Where the nights are warm and the stars align
Take me back to the beautiful island
Dancing slow under palms and sky
La isla bonita, that's where my heart will always fly
