Story Behind the Song
I lived on the tropical island of Moorea
Lyrics
Moorea
Words and Music by
Pat McDonald
Key: Bb (C1/A)
Oh we all dream of a Paradise
Where the trade winds blow from the sea
Far away where the waters are warm and clear
Away from the “Land of the Free”
A place where we can get away
From cell phones and DVD’s
You can leave all your worries and your cares behind
Find your feet and follow me to my
Moorea, I still hear you call to me
Moorea, my Paradise across the sea
I could live a thousand years never to feel the same
Moorea, call my name
I remember a man with a toothless grin
Playin' on a cheap guitar
The Tahitian band that sang with him
'Neath the cover of the southern stars
Oh, the colors on the coral reefs
And the tourists in the bars
Hustle and the bustle of the open market
And the amber lights of the motor cars
Moorea, I still hear you call to me
Moorea, my Paradise across the sea
I could live a thousand years never to feel the same
Moorea, call my name
Sailing, on the water I am sailing
Sailing, daughter of the island king
Spirit of the sky
Monarch of the sea
Are there for you and me
Moorea, I still hear you call to me
Moorea, my Paradise across the sea
I could live a thousand years never to feel the same
Moorea, call my name
Yeah, call my name
Oh, call my name
