Lyrics
I know an island, in the turquoise waters of the
Carribean ocean, where the sun is always shining
I long to go there, where the people are always smiling
Where you can hear the festive rhythms that
Dance about the air of Oyster Bay
CHORUS
I'll fly... away... To that place on Oyster Bay
I'll fly... away... My paradise awaits
The warm sun embraces, the gentle breeze caresses me and
The ocean makes it's music, with rolling waves that splash the seashore
And in the moonlight, the sea becomes a sparkling dance floor
Memories keep calling me
Beckoning return to Oyster Bay
REPEAT CHORUS -- INSTRUMENTAL
And in the moonlight, the sea becomes a sparkling dance floor
Memories keep calling me
Beckoning return to Oyster Bay
CHORUS -- OUTRO
