There's a reason For the sun-shining sky And there's a reason Why I'm feeling so high Must be the season When that love light shines All around us Just let your love flow Like a mountain stream And let your love grow With the smallest of dreams And let your love show And you'll know what I mean It's the season Let your love fly Like a bird on a wing And let your love bind You to all living things And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean That's the reason Don't you feel it growing, day by day People getting ready for the news Some are happy, some are sad Whoa, gotta let the music play Whoa, oh listen to the music Whoa, oh listen to the music Whoa, oh listen to the music All the time I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's gotta be a little rain sometime When you take you gotta give So live and let live or let go Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden I could promise you things Like big diamond rings But you don't find roses growin' On stalks of clover So you better think it over So smile for a while And let's be jolly Love shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times While we can I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's gotta be a little rain sometime We grew up together Two kids in the park We carved our initials Deep in the bark Me and Alice Now she walks through the door With her head held high Just for a moment, I caught her eye As a big limousine pulled slowly Out of Alice's drive Oh, I don't know why she's leaving Or where she's gonna go I guess she's got her reasons But I just don't want to know 'Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice 24 years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel, And maybe get a second glance Now I gotta get used to not Living next door to Alice Baby, when I met you There was peace unknown I set out to get you With a fine tooth comb I was soft inside There was something going on You do something to me That I can't explain Hold me closer and I feel no pain Every beat of my heart We got something going on Tender love is blind It requires a dedication All this love we feel Needs no conversation We ride it together, ah ha Making love with each other, ah ha Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in between How can we be wrong? Sail away with me To another world And we rely on each other, ah ha From one lover to another, ah ha Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in between How can we be wrong? Sail away with me To another world And we rely on each other, ah ha From one lover to another, ah ha
