Paradise - © W. T. Anderson Jr.

Paradise once did I believe in,
Starry nights, the moon upon the water,
A silent breeze blowing through your hair,
Still I'm standing there waiting for the sun...

The waves crash again and again upon the shore,
A bird flies off into the night...
The palm trees are swaying in the breeze,
But still it doesn't seem like paradise without you...

Paradise now lost to me forever,
Since the last time when I held you in my arms...
Memories last only for a lifetime...
Dreams and memories mine, drifting far away...

The waves crash again and again upon the shore,
A bird flies off into the night...
The palm trees are swaying in the breeze,
But still it doesn't seem like paradise without you...

Paradise once did I believe in,
Sea and sand eternally at odds,
I only wish the stars would bring you back into my arms,
I'd hold you there forever...

The waves crash again and again upon the shore,
A bird flies off into the night...
The palm trees are swaying in the breeze,
But still it doesn't seem like paradise without you...
