The big cold city is such a lonely place to be Hustle all day and dream of the islands and sea Millions of girls but none of them seemed right for me Til you came along, you touched me and set me free So I slipped away last night, eased on down to the Key Flyin' so high, we hitched a ride on a Gulf Stream breeze Livin' on love and the fruits from tropical trees A song in our hearts and our eyes on the West Indies It's just another day in paradise Love in the night, oh we do it so right Seein' that 'I Love You' look in your eyes Just another day in paradise A bottle of rum, listen to the steel drum band Laughin' in the moonlight, along the beach we ran Splashin' naked in the sea, makin' love upon the sand Fallin' fast asleep like children, hand in hand It's just another day in paradise Love in the night, oh we do it so right Seein' that 'I Love You' look in your eyes Just another day in paradise I woke up this morning with the sunlight in my eyes Guess it was only a dream, I hear the city outside But I look at you sleepin' and honey now I realize That anywhere with you is paradise It's just another day in paradise Love in the night, oh we do it so right Seein' that 'I Love You' look in your eyes Just another day in paradise It's just another day in paradise Love in the night, oh we do it so right Seein' that 'I Love You' look in your eyes Just another day in paradise
