Islands in the Stream (Live)

[Intro: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
Thank you so much for coming here tonight to help me say goodbye
You guys have been wonderful and the talent on this show
I mean, I said it over there, I said, "Wow, I forgot about that hit," "I forgot about that hit"
So it's really been fun for me
And tonight is as much about me saying thank you as it is goodbye
It's sixty years of great talent
And now, without the stool
Okay, you wanna do—
I can't think of anybody I would rather sail away with, uh-huh
Let's sit (Okay)
And everybody gets to sing on this one
Are you ready for us to do our final (I am ready)
"Islands in the Stream"? (I am ready)
Alright, let's go

[Verse 1: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
Baby, when I met you, there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside
There was somethin' goin' on (I know)

[Verse 2: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
You do somethin' to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got somethin' goin' on

[Pre-Chorus: Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication
All this love we feel needs no conversation
We ride it together, uh-huh
Makin' love with each other, ah-ha

[Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong?
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha

[Verse 3: Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers]
Can I go over and sing to them? (Your turn)
I can't live without you if the love is gone
Everything is nothin' if you got no one
You just walk in the night
Slowly losin' sight of the real thing

[Verse 4: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing

[Pre-Chorus: Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
No more will you cry, baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one in love forever
We can ride it together, ha-ha
Makin' love with each other, ha-ha

[Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong?
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ha-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha

[Post-Chorus: Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers]
No, no, no, come on
Sail away, sail away
Sail away with me
Come on, sail, come on
Sail away with me (Sail away)

[Outro: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
Thank you guys so much (Love you, thank you)
We appreciate it more than you know
Kenny? (Right)
How about we go out like rockstars?
Absolutely
One, two, three
