Cher - Island Lyrics






I think we need an island
Cause we can't get along
In this place that we're on
And honey
When I wake in the morning
If I could see your face
If I could see your face

[Chorus:]
And I've covered the whole world
Searching for a way to get to you
Will it be this way forever
Ooh, I feel the night is breathing
Closer than ever
And I can't believe we're no together

I need to get some answers
Cause I can't understand it
We both know it's wrong
And honey
I wanna die completely
We've dragging it out too long
Much too long

[Chorus]

And I've covered the whole world
Searching for a way to get to you
And I can't believe we're not together

I think we need an island

  1. L.... A....

    This song is gorgeous and Cher sounds so soulful. Lauren Wood wrote one heck of a song!

  2. r.... P....

    Lauren Wood...you wrote one of my most favorite Cher songs. Too bad it has never really been released other than vinyl. A lot of people are missing a superb rendition. Thank You!!

  3. D.... C....

    love love love

    Hey guys... I wrote this song. My name is Lauren Wood. (It used to be Ilene Rappaport, but don't spread that around.) I also wrote "Fallen" from the movie Pretty Woman ((1990) and had a hit single with Michael McDonald called "Please Don't Leave" (1979). I've written many other songs and had many covers.  Cher heard me sing this at a gig and told me it was exactly what was going on with her and Gregg, and asked me if I was ok with her recording it. I said, "go ahead, twist my arm, Cher."

    L.... W....

    Lauren, it's a great song, and I think Cher did a good job with it. Thank you for sharing the story. I have your albums...love 'em! CAT TRICK is my favorite.

    L.... W....

  7. N.... ....

    this song got me throught some tuff heartaches

  8. D.... K....

    @chermaster85 Sorry, but Cher did NOT write this song. It was written by Lauren Wood aka Ilene Rappaport aka Chunky of Chunky, Novi and Ernie. It was originally released on the self titled 'Chunky, Novi and Ernie' album in 1977 on Warner Bros. Records. Cher did do a fine version here tho.

  9. c.... ....

    Great album . two the hard way - loved it from first moment on !

  10. B.... A....

    Love this song, have the album and still listen to it, love my cher albums!!

  11. s.... ....

    I don't know much about Gregg, but I read in a recent mag article that he has a daughter named "Island". She was born in 1980, he was remarried in 1979 (I think that's what it said).

  12. E.... ....

    I saw it Sold for $75.00 Plus Shipping on eBay a month ago!!

  13. E.... ....

    I LOVE this song!! The VIDEO makes it even MORE SPECTACULAR! GENIUS!
    It's like looking back in time through a kaleidoscope!! BRILLIANT!

  14. E.... ....

    The song named "Island" that Gregg Allman released is on his "No Stranger To The Dark, The Best of Gregg Allman" which is a different song altogether. One would need to ask CHER, but in this case I believe Wikipedia is incorrect.

  15. E.... ....

    PS ANYONE can change or modify on Wikipedia,making it open on occasion to
    erronneous incongruencies and errors.

  16. E.... ....

    There are at LEAST 2 versions of songs named "Island". Someone told me CHER wrote the version on Allman & Woman under a pen-name. If you look on the 33 RPM LP record itslef, it says "aka Ilene Rappaport." There is another version on one of Gregg Allman's releases with the same title that HE did write, along with some others, from what I understand. I also heard THAT song was written or dedicated to his daughter Island, as well.

  17. E.... ....

    PS Have you SEEN the Price of the LP in eBay lately?? :D A TESTAMENT to her MAGNIFICENCE!!

  18. c.... ....

    You sir have great taste,

  19. E.... ....

    I don't agree. It is BEAUTIFUL and I MUCH prefer it to Nature Boy!! Just This One Time I love too.

  20. D.... H....

    Don't get me wrong - I LOVE the TRUE DIVA - but this to me is not her better singing - she's pushing so hard her vibrato is breaking up and chopping, and her color is all over the place. Too bad, because it's such a pretty song - check out her Nature Boy or Just This One Time to her just how great she can be when she's channeling well. Like I say people - don't kill me - I love me some Cher! She should redo this one, she's a better singer now and would break your heart with it.

  21. N.... M....

    Wonderful , I have this album thanks for the track.

  22. E.... ....
