As I stroll along the water's edge
With my feet sinking in the sand
My eyes glance across at a small island
No more than ten metres from the land

I know this island so very well
Of Summers spent down by this sea
How we swam in this beautiful ocean
Such precious times for you and me

This island is not one you can live on
But a place to sit and watch the world go by
Some days I would feel so happy
That, on tiptoes, I could almost reach the sky

Now the seagulls sit on our island
Here they roost as the sun starts to set
And everytime that I walk past here
There'll be some things I'll never forget

Good times we once shared are now distant
No more a child am I
Everytime that I walk past this island now
I always feel the need to cry

But those memories we shared, I must now cherish
For two years you've been gone from my side
But I take much comfort in knowing
In my heart is where you now reside
