Island songs of jubilation
Island songs in the sun
Island songs of jubilation
Days and nights are never done

Can you hear the island's calling
Whispered melodies of fun
Can you hear the water's rhythm
Calling you beneath the sun

Do you feel the balmy island breezes
Cooling you beneath the tropic sun
Do you feel the crystal water's rhythm
As upon the white sand beach you run

Come and stay here on my island
Sing and laugh and have some fun
Swim in warm clear waters
On white sandy beaches run

Do you feel the balmy island breezes
Cooling you beneath the tropic sun
Do you feel the crystal water's rhythm
As upon the white sand beach you run

Island songs of jubilation
Island people in the sun
Sing our songs of jubilation
Days and nights go on and on


(Written sometime back in the 90s. Probably early 90s. This is something I wrote and came up with the initial idea for the melody. A friend, Derek Carver, worked on the music and played it. It was recorded on a Yamaha Clavinova CVP-50. We still need to clean up the midi file and perhaps add more parts. Note, ignore the midi talk for now. Feel free to find a new melody if you like. I will ask Derek if he wants to put up the midi file somewhere again.)

* If I can track down the original file on an old computer somewhere I may figure out the exact date of copyright.
