Behind the song:
My daughter had just gotten back from someplace tropical and said “I could live there”. I sat down and wrote this song.
LYRICS:
CHORUS:
I want an island life
Sand between my toes
I want an island life
Where gentle breezes blow
In my mind
My thoughts are taking me
Back to that place by the sea
Waiting for the light to change
My thoughts are miles away
I have a million things
I need to do today
I’ll get up in the morning
And do them all again
But in my dreams, I go back
To a place I have been
CHORUS:
I want an island life
Sand between my toes
I want an island life
Where gentle breezes blow
In my mind
My thoughts are taking me
Back to that place by the sea
I took a small vacation once
It seems so long ago
To a land of sunny skies
Where life was calm and slow
Lying in a hammock
A cold drink in my hand
Looking back upon that time
I’ve come to understand
CHORUS:
I want an island life
Sand between my toes
I want an island life
Where gentle breezes blow
In my mind
My thoughts are taking me
Back to that place by the sea
CHORUS:
I want an island life
Sand between my toes
I want an island life
Where gentle breezes blow
In my mind
My thoughts are taking me
Back to that place by the sea
That’s where I’d really rather be
I want an island life
