When the sun goes down on the Gulf of Mexico

When the day cools down and the jasmine breezes blow

An island moon will rise, on a night in paradise

When the sun goes down on the Gulf of Mexico

Well there ain't nothin' better, for you my friend

Your feet in the water, coconut drink in your hand

You and your lover, on a blanket on the beach in the sand.

There aint nothin' better, for you my friend.

When the sun goes down on the Gulf of Mexico

When the day cools down and the jasmine breezes blow

An island moon will rise, on a night in paradise

When the sun goes down on the Gulf of Mexico

Well there ain't nothin' better, than the sea in your hair

Romance the water, salted lips in the air

you and your lover, a million miles from nowhere

There aint nothin' better, than bein' right here

Music enterlude

So raise a toast to the sun, as it sinks in the west

raise a toast to another sunset

And raise a toast to the sun, as it flames up the sky

raise a toast, raise a toast up high ....

An island moon will rise, on a night in paradise

When the sun goes down on the Gulf of Mexico
