    Lyrics:
    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, huhn hah
    From one lover to another, huhn hah

She has experienced loss, abuse, suicide attempts... And yet with Jesus, she has such a loving, strong heart. I have never met a woman like her. Please pray God will bring miracles into her life, and turn her situation around. I ask in Jesus name, Amen. 🙏🙏🙏

      ​@@nuttybar9 " 'Islands in the Stream' is a song written by the Bee Gees and recorded by American country music artists Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton." "Barry, Robin and Marice Gibb originally penned “Islands in the Stream” as an R&B track for Marvin Gaye but, it soon turned into a country-pop crossover. The love song was inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s novel of the same name. Other songs written by the Bee Gees for other artists include Olivia Newton-John’s 'Come on Over,' Frankie Valli’s 'Grease' and Samantha Sang’s 'Emotion' .”

    Dolly won the 2001 GRAMMY Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for her cover of the Collective Soul song "Shine" from her album "Little Sparrow," marking her third win in that category and seventh overall. Collective Soul lead singer Ed Roland was blown away when he found out Dolly covered the group’s song, "In all honesty, the first CD, which has 'Shine' on it, basically was a songwriter's demo, trying to get a publishing deal and try to showcase songs. It's the first time ever we've had one of those songs covered, and it's an honor, and really cool... especially coming from someone who's a great songwriter. It's not necessary for her to use anyone's songs except her own."

    here we are, my mom and me listening to this unbelievably beautiful song, 8 years after my dad has gone. we're trying to sing along but we're both crying and hugging each other. I'll never forget how the two of them used to dance to it in the living room, holding each other tight and me and my sisters would just rush to enter that ring of embrace so that we could all kiss and hug each other like a bunch of little monkees

    "Islands In The Stream"
    (feat. 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 something going on
    You do something to me
    That I can't explain
    Hold me closer and I feel no pain
    Every beat of my heart
    We got something going on
    Tender love is blind
    It requires a dedication
    All this love we feel
    Needs no conversation
    We ride it together, ah-ha
    Making love with each other, ah-ha
    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
    I can't live without you
    If the love was gone
    Everything is nothing
    If you got no one
    And you just walk in the night
    Slowly losing sight of the real thing
    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
    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, ah-ha
    Making love with each other, ah-ha
    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
    Sail away
    [Instrumental Interlude]
    Ooooh, come sail away with me
    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
    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

    Man, dolly was so beautiful and their voices go like honey together. This made me feel SO giddy and got me blushing like a child because it’s so accurate to how my love story began with my Bf. Just so so sweet. This has officially become one of ‘our’ songs ❤️✨
