Island Song Lyrics - Edwin Mccain

you can leave the island but you can't leave my love 

and you can't take back what you gave away 

you can leave the island but you can't leave my heart 

'cause this memory remains 

of the moonlit nights 

when the stars were high 

we could see Savannah shine across the waves 

we could dance along the shore 

and take our time for more 

and all along I know our hearts will say 

you can leave the island but you can't leave my love 

and you can't take back what you gave away 

you can leave the island but you can't leave my heart 

'cause the memory remains 

and I loved you 

from the moment that we met I'm thinkin' of you 

and I never will forget... 

how the feelin' came a reelin', 

so easy to be ... so free 

on a moonlit night 

when the stars are high 

we can see Savannah shine across the waves 

now I know you must move on... 

but I'll never be alone 

as long as this memory remains 

and I've loved you 

from the moment that we met I'm thinkin' of you 

and I never will forget... 

how the feelin' came a reelin', 

so easy to be... so free 

you can leave the island but you can't leave my love 

and you can't take back what you gave away 

you can leave the island but you can't leave my heart 

'cause the memory remains... 

this feelin' rarely ever fades... 

and how I wish, 

how I wish, how I wish you'd stay
