The sands of time slip through our fingers
Here in the cool of the Caribbean night
Please don't cry, when tomorrow I fly away
And have to find a way of saying our last goodbye
Jamaica girl, right from the start
You lost your head, I lost my heart
And in the heat of the moment
We felt the power of a thousand oceans
Jamaica girl, I'm falling in love with you
Here we lie in moonlit shadows
Lost in a dream that will soon be just a song
Come one day our song will echo all over these islands
But until then my love you know we must both be strong
Jamaica girl, right from the start
You lost your head, I lost my heart
And in the heat of the moment
We felt the power of a thousand oceans
Jamaica girl, I'm falling in love with you
