Tropical Retreat of My Heart

Here I am in the land of the endless sun, A tropical paradise that compares to none, From the frolicking surf to the ancient trails, This land's full of many sacred tales. But the story I love best, Is the one that isn't told with the rest, It's about how my heart's tropical retreat, Is now ready to take second seat. Revered are the legendary figures of old, Whose great and mighty acts are retold, And steeped in mystical phrases, Are many words of love that passed through the ages. With the refreshing of my soul, and the mending of my heart, I'm ready now to return to love, and give it a new start, And though I'm still miles away from you, At the end of this journey, our love still rings true. Half ‘way around the world, I distanced myself from you, Leaving for an island paradise, I felt stifled and blue, I hoped for a soft and smooth landing, And found myself in a land of love abounding. Revered are the legendary figures of old, Whose great and mighty acts are retold, And steeped in mystical phrases, Are many words of love that passed through the ages. With the refreshing of my soul, and the mending of my heart, I'm ready now to return to love, and give it a new start, And though I'm still miles away from you, At the end of this journey, our love still rings true.
