Music by elton john Lyrics by gary osborne Available on the album a single man It's paradise here where the sun meets the sea There's nothing to fear and so much to be But soon I must go, say goodbye to it all That homeland of mine is beginning to call Goodbye doesn't mean this has to be the end Fading dreams grow cold as ice And I got a feeling we will meet again When we return to paradise The wind in our hair and the sun in our eyes There's no need for tears and no time for lies So reach out your hand and I'll reach out my heart Remember me while we are apart I'm heading homeward Leaving sunshine and heading for rain But we'll return to paradise again
