You appear on the horizon, far away My desire to be there with you Stirs the wind and fills the sails In the bay I drop the anchor down, swim ashore On the beach the coconut palms Jasmine, frangipane and you Your silent eyes convince me I'm marooned We're safe inside this azure blue lagoon I want to know you, bird of paradise I want to show you, all the love that I feel I need to touch you, bird of paradise I need your touch to make this fantasy real On sea o storm is raging, far away And the ships - like so many toys Fear the wind and fight the waves In your arms a forgotten dream nothing more Here the sky is perfectly clear Evening star, the moonlight and you Your silent eyes convince me I'm marooned We're safe inside this azure blue lagoon I want to know you, bird of paradise I want to show you, all the love that I feel I need to touch you, bird of paradise I need your touch to make this fantasy real I want to know you, bird of paradise I want to show you, all the love that I feel Just you and me, a mango tree The bare necessities of love My bird of paradise, I realize That you were sent here from above You're my bird Of paradise My bird of paradise
