Island
Roseaux Lyrics

Some say I’ll never change
Despite what others may say, there is doubt that I can change my ways

I leave my lovers in the dark
I tend to abandon my past relationships without any explanation or closure

But you light up every room
However, you have the ability to bring joy and illumination wherever you go

and in me you light a spark
And when you are with me, you ignite a strong and passionate feeling within me

No matter what they say, oh love
Despite the criticisms and judgments from others, my feelings for you remain unaffected

You’re always on my mind
You are constantly occupying my thoughts and emotions

you’re different from the other girls
You possess unique qualities and attributes that set you apart from other women

you’re soulful and refined
Your soul carries depth and sophistication

Cause I long to take you in my arms
I have a strong desire to hold you close and embrace you

And hold you the night through
To remain by your side throughout the entire night

you show me what it is that I can give
You reveal to me the potential I have to offer and give in a relationship

my love for you is true
The love I have for you is sincere and genuine

and under city lights
When we are surrounded by the vibrant lights of the city

you can make me feel the wide open sea
You have the ability to make me feel free and boundless, like the vast ocean

and I can feel the rush of a mountain top
I experience an exhilarating sensation similar to reaching the peak of a mountain

When you shine your eyes at me (x2)
When you look at me with affection and warmth, it brings me immense happiness

My love for you will last
The love I have for you is enduring and long-lasting

past a thousand Friday nights
It will surpass countless nights spent together

through all our Saturdays
Throughout all the moments of joy and leisure we share

And Sundays full of light
Even during the peaceful and content Sundays filled with happiness

I need your voice and spirit, oh love
Your voice and energy are essential to me, my dear

Now say that you’ll be mine
Please assure me that you will commit to being with me

I’ll make it worth your while
I promise to make our relationship rewarding and fulfilling

If you just give me the time
All I ask is for you to give me a chance and spend time with me

Here is the day
Finally, the long-awaited day has arrived

We no longer have to wait
We are free from the anticipation and uncertainty of waiting

And we can live a little dream just made for two
Together, we can create and live a beautiful dream designed for both of us

You know I’ll follow through
You can trust that I will honor my commitments and do what I promise

And under city lights
Once again, in the presence of the dazzling city lights

you can make me feel the wide open sea
You have the power to make me feel liberated and boundless, like the vast sea

and I can feel the rush of a mountain top
Similar to the exhilaration of standing atop a mountain, your presence brings me excitement

When you shine your eyes at me...
When you look at me with affection and adoration, it fills me with joy
