Song Lyrics

Long time ago, when I was a young boyI saw that movie "Mutiny on the Bounty"Starring my idol, Marlon BrandoAnd I felt a yearning for that great adventureSo many nights I woke up out of a dreamA dream of blue seas, white sandsParadise birds, butterfliesAnd beautiful warm-hearted girlsSun of Jamaica, the dreams of MalaikaOur love is my sweet memorySun of Jamaica, Blue Lady MalaikaSomeday I'll return, wait and seeWalk in the sand and I'm happy with youWe shall be loving and trueOh, I sure love Malaika with all of my heartI will always be faithful and true, yeah, trueBut now as I grew olderThis burning desire became so strongThat I bought me a ticket to fly homeAnd then I found youAnd we fell in an eternal loveRight from the beginningThe stars falling down from the smoothing lagoonThe palms swaying under the moonWe were swimming out into the calm and crystal seaIn that fateful night I thought to myselfI'll do everything I can, save up every dimeAnd one day I'll return, come back home to youAnd then I'll stay forever, foreverSun of Jamaica, the dreams of MalaikaOur love is my sweet memorySun of Jamaica, Blue Lady MalaikaSomeday I'll return, wait and seeWalk in the sand and I'm happy with youWe shall be loving and trueOh, I sure love Malaika with all of my heartI will always be faithful and true, yeah, trueSun of Jamaica, the dreams of MalaikaOur love is my sweet memorySun of Jamaica, Blue Lady MalaikaSomeday I'll return, wait and seeSun of Jamaica, the dreams of Malaika
