Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Flamingos walk
And sway in peace
Seeing this, it makes my troubles cease
The sun is hiding
Leaving a pink scar
That stretches right across the sky
That's all we've seen so far
And all I do is look into your eyes
[Verse 2]
For that special touch of paradise
Just a touch, a touch of paradise
Just a special touch of paradise
[Verse 3]
You hold my hand
That's when we kiss
And it doesn't take long no, no
Until I get the gist
Of this love that stretches out across the land
Where rainbows flash
As we're walking in the sand
And all I do is look into your eyes
[Verse 4]
For that special touch of paradise
Just a touch, a touch of paradise
Just a special touch of paradise
[Verse 5]
A touch of spring
And autumn sweet
Well the trees vibrate when our eyes meet
And I think of all the love
That we have been making
You touch my hand
And I walk off shaking
[Verse 6]
And all I do is look into your eyes
[Verse 7]
For that special touch of paradise
Oh, darling
Just a touch, a touch of paradise
Just a touch a touch of paradise
[Verse 8]
Just a touch, a touch of paradise
Just a touch a touch of paradise
Just a touch, a touch of paradise
Just a touch, a touch of paradise
Just a touch a touch of paradise
[Verse 9]
Just a touch, a touch of paradise
Just a touch, a touch of paradise
Just a touch a touch of paradise
Just a touch, a touch of paradise
