*** Introduction ***

*** Verse 1 ***
Last night I dreamt of Sanpedro
Just like I'd never gone I knew the song
A young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday not far away

*** Chorus 1 ***
Tropical the island breeze all of the nature wild and free
This is where I long to be la Isla Bonita
And when the samba played the sun would set to high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes your Spanish lullaby

*** Nylon Guitar ***

*** Verse 2 ***
I fell in love with Sanpedro
Warm wind carried on the sea he called to me
Te diso te amo
I prayed that the days would last they went so fast

*** Chorus 2 ***
Tropical the island breeze, all of the nature wild and free
This is where I long to be la Isla Bonita
And when the samba played the sun would set to high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes your Spanish lullaby

*** Nylon Guitar ***

*** Middle Section ***
I want to be where the sun warms the sky
When it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces no cares in the world
Where a girl loves a boy and a boy loves a girl

*** Instrumental ***

*** Verse 3 ***
Last night I dreamt of Sanpedro
It all seems like yesterday not far away

*** Chorus 3 ***
Tropical the island breeze, all of the nature wild and free
This is where I long to be la Isla Bonita
And when the samba played the sun would set to high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes your Spanish lullaby

*** Choeus 4 ***
Tropical the island breeze, all of the nature wild and free
This is where I long to be la Isla Bonita
And when the samba played the sun would set to high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes your Spanish lullaby

*** Outro ***
