Tony Bennett (born August 3, 1926) is an American popular music, standards, and jazz singer who is widely considered to be one of the best interpretative singers in these genres. After having achieved artistic and commercial success in the 1950s and early 1960s, his career suffered an extended downturn during the height of the rock music era. However, Bennett staged a remarkable comeback in the late 1980s and 1990s, expanding his audience to a younger generation while keeping his musical style intact. He remains a popular and critically praised recording artist and concert performer in the 2000s. Tony Bennett is also a serious and accomplished painter.

In the middle of an island
In the middle of the ocean
You and I beneath the moonlight
With just the monkeys and the palm trees
In the middle of an island
When it's time to do some kissin'
Plenty time for lotsa lovin'
And walkin' barefoot in the sand
Though there's no island at all
Just a picture on my wall
My darlin', how I wish we could be
(I wish that we could be)
In the middle of an island
In the middle of the ocean
You and I forever, darlin'
In a paradise for two (in a paradise for two)
'
Though there's no island at all
Just a picture on my wall
My darlin', how I wish we could be
(I wish that we could be)
In the middle of an island
In the middle of the ocean
You and I forever, darlin'
In a paradise for two
(In the middle of the ocean on an island kissin' you
