Bird of Paradise

You appear on the horizon far away My desire to be there with you stirs the wind and fills the sense In the bay I drop the anchor down swim ashore On the beach the coconut palms, orchids, planchoniana and you Your silent eyes convince me I'm your own We're safe inside this agile blue lagoon I want to know you bird of paradise I want to show you of the love that I feel I need to touch you bird of paradise I need your touch to make this fantasy real On the sea a storm is raging far away And the ship like so many toys fear the wind and fight the waves In your arms it's a forgotten dream, nothing more Here the sky is perfectly clear, evening star the moonlight and you Your silent eyes convince me I'm your own We're safe inside this agile blue lagoon I want to know you bird of paradise I want to show you of the love that I feel I need to touch you bird of paradise I need your touch to make this fantasy real Just you and me [Incomprehensible] of dreams The bare necessities of love My bird of paradise, I realize But you were sent here from above You're my bird of paradise My bird of paradise Just you and me [Incomprehensible] of dreams The bare necessities of love My bird of paradise, I realize But you were sent here from above You're my bird of paradise My bird of paradise --- Bird of Paradise - Michael Franks
