The Island Song Lyrics

[Chorus]
You can leave the island, but you can't leave my love
You can't take back what you gave away
You can leave the island, but you can't leave my heart
Although this memory remains

[Verse]
On a moonlit night, when the stars are high
You can see Savannah shine across the bay
And we can dance along the shores
And take our time for more
And all along, I know our hearts will sing (Sing)

[Chorus]
You can leave the island, but you can't leave my love
You can't take back what you gave away
You can leave the island, but you can't leave my heart
Although this memory remains

[Refrain]
And I love you
From the moment that we met, I'm thinkin' of you
And I never will forget
How this feelin' came a-reelin'
So easy to be so free
[Guitar Solo]
(I wanna tell you something)

[Refrain]
And I love you
From the moment that we met, I'm thinkin' of you
And I never will forget
How this feelin' came a-reelin'
So easy to be so free

[Verse]
On a moonlit night, when the stars are high
You can see Savannah shine across the bay
Now I know you must move on
But I'll never be alone
As long as your memory remains always

[Chorus]
You can leave the island, but you can't leave my love
You can't take back what you gave away
You can leave the island, but you can't leave my heart
Although this memory remains
The feelin' rarely ever fades
And I wish, and I wish, and I wish
And how I wish, how I wish
That you would stay

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • 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 [?]
