The Island 
Of Forgotten Lovers

I am sailin' on away, on heartbreak bay, 

to the island of forgotten lovers! 

Since my best friend an' you, became untrue 

there's nothin' else for me to do! 

 

There are no chains to hold a love grown cold, 

that's what your heart soon discovers! 

So, I am sailin' on away, on heartbreak bay, 

to the island of forgotten lovers!  ( . . . lovers, forgotten love! )

 

And I will stay away ( I will stay away!! ) until the day 

my broken heart recovers! 

But now I'm sailin' on away, on heartbreak bay, 

to the island of forgotten lovers!

 

. . . to the island of forgotten lovers!
