Sail away with me To another world And we rely on each other, ah-ah From one lover to another, ah-ah [Verse 3: Dolly Parton] I can't live without you if the love was gone Everything is nothing if you got no one And you just walk in the night Slowly losing sight of the real thing [Verse 4: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton] But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt Too deep in love and we got no way out And the message is clear This could be the year for the real thing [Pre-Chorus: Dolly Parton, Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers] No more will you cry Baby, I will hurt you never We start and end as one In love forever We can ride it together, ah-ah Making love with each other, ah-ah [Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton] Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in between How can we be wrong? Sail away with me To another world And we rely on each other, ah-ah From one lover to another, ah-ah [Interlude: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton] Sail away Oh, come sail away with me [Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton] Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in between How can we be wrong? Sail away with me To another world And we rely on each other, ah-ah From one lover to another, ah-ah Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in between How can we be wrong? Sail away with me To another world And we rely on each other, ah-ah From one lover to another, ah-ah Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in between
