Another Day in Paradise - Bertie Higgins

The big cold city is

Such a lonely place to be

Hustle all day and dream

Of the islands and sea

Millions of girls but

None of them seem right for me

Till you came along and you

Touched me and set me free

So I slipped away last night

Eased on down to the Key

Flying so high we hitched a ride

On the Gulf Stream breeze

Living on love and fruits

From tropical trees

A song in our hearts and

Our eyes on the West Indies

It’s just another day in paradise

Long the night and wait till the sunrise

Seeing that I love you look in your eyes

Just another day in paradise

A bottle of rum

Listen to the steel drum band

Laughing in the moonlight

Along the beach, we ran

Splashing naked in the sea

Making love upon the sand

Falling fast asleep like children

Hand in hand

I woke up this morning

With the sunlight in my eyes

Guess it’s only a dream

I hear the city outside

But I look at you sleeping

And, honey, now I realize

That anywhere with you

Is paradise
