It's paradise here where the sun meets the sea
There's nothing to fear and so much to be
But soon I must go, say goodbye to it all
That homeland of mine is beginning to call
Goodbye doesn't mean this has to be the end
Fading dreams grow cold as ice
And I got a feeling that we will meet again
When we return to paradise
The wind in our hair and the sun in our eyes
There's no need for tears and no time for lies
So reach out your hand and I'll reach out my heart
Remember me while we are apart
Goodbye doesn't mean this has to be the end
Fading dreams grow cold as ice
And I got a feeling that we will meet again
When we return to paradise
Goodbye doesn't mean this has to be the end
Fading dreams grow cold as ice
And I got a feeling that we will meet again
When we return to paradise
Goodbye doesn't mean this has to be the end
Fading dreams grow cold as ice
I'm heading homeward
Leaving sunshine and heading for rain
But we'll return to paradise again
