La Isla Bonita Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I had never gone, I knew the song
Young girl with eyes like a desert
It all seems just like yesterday, not far away

[Chorus]
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring for my ears and sting my eyes
The Spanish lullaby

[Verse 2]
I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm winds carried by the sea, she called to me
Te dijo te amo
I prayed that the days would last, they go so fast

[Chorus]
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring for my ears and sting my eyes
The Spanish lullaby
[Bridge]
I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it's time for siesta, you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy loves a girl

[Pre-Chorus]
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I had never gone, I knew the song

[Chorus]
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring for my ears, and sting my eyes
The Spanish lullaby
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring for my ears, and sting my eyes
The Spanish lullaby
