Last night I dreamt of San Pedro,
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
Tropical the island breeze,
All of nature wild and free,
This is where I long to be:
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played
the sun would set so high,
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes,
Your Spanish lullaby.
I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me
Te dijo, te amo
I prayed that the days would last
They went so fast
Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby
