Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I used to dream I’d find a fortune
Upon an island in the blue
When I left home to find that fortune I found you
Chorus
I sailed away to Treasure Island
And my heart stood still
When I landed on the silvery shore
We met that day on Treasure Island
And the smile you gave
Whas the treasure I’d been craving for
Then came those moments of bliss
In the shade of the sheltering palms
I still remember your kiss
As you nestled within my arms
I looked for gold on Treasure Island
And I found that gold
When you gave your golden love to me
