The sands of time slip through our fingers
   Here in the cool of the Caribbean night
   Please don't cry when tomorrow I fly away
   And have to find a way of saying our last goodbye
  
   Jamaica girl, right from the start
   You lost your head, I lost my heart
   And in the heat of the moment
   We felt the power of a thousand oceans
   Jamaica girl, I've fallen in love with you
  
   Here we lie in moonlit shadows
   Lost in a dream that will soon be just a song
   Come one day our song will echo all over these islands
   But until then my love, you know we must both be strong
  
   Jamaica girl, right from the start
   You lost your head, I lost my heart
   And in the heat of the moment
   We felt the power of a thousand oceans
   Jamaica girl, I've fallen in love with you
  
   And in the heat of the moment
   We felt the power of a thousand oceans
   Jamaica girl, I've fallen in love with you
   Jamaica girl, I've fallen in love with you
