last night I dreamt of San Pedro
just like I'd never gone
I knew the song
young girl with eyes like desert
it all seems like yesterday
not far away

tropical the island breeze
all of nature, wild and free
this is where I long to be
La Isla bonita
and when the samba played
the sun would set so high
ring through my ears and sting my eyes
your Spanish lullaby

I feel in love with San Pedro
warm wind carried on the sea
he called to me
"te dijo te amo"
I prayed that the days would last
they went so fast

tropical the island breeze
all of nature, wild and free
this is where I long to be
La Isla bonita
and when the samba played
the sun would set so high
ring through my ears and sting my eyes
your Spanish lullaby

I want to be where the sun
warms the sky
when it's time for siesta
you can watch them go by
beautiful faces no cares in this world
where a girl loves a boy and a boy
loves a girl

last night I dreamt of San Pedro
it all seems like yesterday
not far away
"te dijo te amo,
el dijo que te ama"
