Lyrics

We’re relaxed in our deck chairs
On a southbound ocean steamer
Looking into the sunset
As we sail towards the edge of the world

The gentle breezes blowing
As we see our island before us
The moonlight beginning to reflect upon the ocean
Not a care between us

We walk upon a sandy beach
To our evening’s pleasure
And as we chase each other
Through the trees
And through the scented flowers
We know we’re each other’s treasure

We’ve got tonight together
You and me forever
As we dance to our favorite songs
Holding each other all night long
Looking into each other’s eyes
And seeing a familiar friend
With a love that gets us through
I just can’t imagine life
Without you

And now in the candlelight
By the firelight
The quiet time between us
As we hold each other in our arms
And see each other’s dreams before us
Not a word that needs to be spoken
But a time for quiet reflection

We’ve got tonight together
You and me forever
As we dance to our favorite songs
Holding each other all night long
Looking into each other’s eyes
And seeing a familiar friend
With a love that gets us through
I just can’t imagine life
Without you

And now as a new dawn breaks
Another day comes awake

A chance for us to make
New dreams and pleasures
For as long as we have each other
With our love between us
We can spend our day
Making our way
Towards our next night together

We’ve got tonight together
You and me forever
As we dance to our favorite songs
Holding each other all night long
Looking into each other’s eyes
And seeing a familiar friend
With a love that gets us through
I just can’t imagine life
Without you
