Story Behind The Song

This song was originally titled "Paradise" and was about the struggle arising from how our concepts of paradise mature. I then rewrote it to personalize it to a relationship. Being in a beautiful, paradise-like place simply isn't enough...you have to have

Song Description

A man (or woman) is waiting for his lover to arrive on a tropical, paradise-like island. Without her, being there is incomplete for him.

Lyrics

No Paradise Without You

There's no work today,
Time has lost its way,
Here upon this tropic island.
Arrived ahead of you,
Balcony for two,
Lonely on this tropic island.

Orchids now surround me; yes it?s true,
I?m looking out at ocean shades of blue.

But there?s no paradise without you,
When you?re not here it?s incomplete for me,
There?s no paradise without you, without you.

You?ll arrive today,
Hectic getaway,
Flying from your city island,
Looking forward to,
Evening rendezvous,
Dinner on our tropic island.

Orchids will surround us; yes it?s true,
We?ll be looking out at ocean shades of blue.

But there?s no paradise without you,
When you?re not here it?s incomplete for me,
There?s no paradise without you, without you.

When I was a young child,
An island paradise I'd see,
A nameless, faceless lover,
Now it?s you that she must be.

Come and dance with me,
In the ocean breeze,
Walk along the sea and sand,
Make sweet love with me,
Paradise carefree,
Lie together, hand in hand.

Orchids will surround us, yes it?s true,
We?ll be looking out at ocean shades of blue.

And I?ll have paradise here with you,
When you?re not here it?s incomplete for me,
There?s no paradise without you, without you,
Without you.

There?s no paradise without you,
When you?re not here it?s incomplete for me,
There?s no paradise without you,
There?s no paradise without you,
There?s no paradise without you.
