That Little Gem of an Island in the Sun

There's a love island in the sun -
a little gem that floats in the South China Sea;
It's so lovely i deem it's meant for little fairies -
to flock and floric, and flit and flirt among the trees...

For i've been there, once before,
and i've seen the those colourful beauties, big and small,
darting around the rocks, and swimming in the sea...
i've seen the rocks and boulders, strew on the hill slopes,
and pebbles and stones that line the paths, down to the sea,
and the swaying fronds of ferns and trees fringing the beach...

And i've told myself that one fine day, in spring -
when the birds are singing in the trees...
i'll be back to this little island paradise -
with the one i love most, and no one else,
to walk along the paths, hand in hand,
and admire the sunrise, perched on a rocky outcrop,
that juts out into the calm blue sea...
and feed the colourful fishes swimming underneath our balcony...

And hear you whispering with the waves in the deep blue sea,
that you'll love me, forever, and live happily, by the sea...
