Sail away with me to another world...

Today I asked one of my friends to suggest songs for me to download.  She suggested "Islands in the stream" by Kenny Rogers.  I was expecting she'll be giving me new song titles but there.. an old song.  Then I told her she really likes old songs.  She answered "Yep! Smart people love old songs. LOL." I agreed. And we rely on each other ah-ah 😁

My friend's favorite line on the song:

"Sail away with me to another world, and we rely on each other ah-ah"

Since I 'm on it, another thing is very interesting.  The song's title is after Ernest Hemingway's novel.  This friend of mine and I happen to exchange books as well, so I'm glad to know that this song's title is after a book's.  In addition, the song is written by Bee Gees, another song that Bee Gees wrote is You and I, (a song I really love) sang with Kenny Rogers.

Islands in the Stream

Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers

Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside, there was somethin' going on
You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got somethin' goin' on
Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel
Needs no conversation
We ride it together, ah-ah
Makin' love with each other, ah-ah

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah

I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothin' if you got no one
And you did walk in tonight
Slowly losing sight of the real thing

But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing

No more will you cry
Baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one, in love forever
We can ride it together, ah-ah
Makin' love with each other, ah-ah
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah

Sail away
Oh, come sail away with me

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah
