La Isla Bonita Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I'd never gone, I knew the song, I knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away, far away

[Chorus]
Tropical the island breeze, all of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
And when the samba played, the sun would set so high
And Ring through my ears and sting my eyes

[Verse 2]
I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me, he called to me
I prayed that the days would last, they went so fast, they went so fast

[Chorus]
Tropical the island breeze, all of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
And when the samba played, the sun would set so high
And ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Tropical the island breeze, all of nature wild and free
All of nature wild and free
All of nature wild and free
All of nature wild and free
All of nature wild and free

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
