It was a one-stop flight of love from the very start
I never realized ’til we were two thousand miles apart
It was fever in the tropical sun on a warm summer day
We couldn’t say goodbye, it just didn't feel right
Though we knew it had to end this way
In a postcard love affair
I can’t remember just why, when, or where
I was dreamin’ of my postcard love affair
How I wish I was still there
A flower of the native land, her petals never fell
She reminded me of the ocean wind blowin’ through a cowry shell
We laid down in the satin sand, under a turquoise sky
You know the sweet warm breeze through the banyan trees
Is one thing you can’t supply
In a postcard love affair
I can’t remember just why, when, or where
I was dreamin’ of my postcard love affair
Now I wish I was still there
There’s a torch that’s burnin’ on the patio next door
The firelight finds a window to my floor
I’m gonna buy me a palm tree and a cockatoo that coos
They’ll be here to remind me of a memory I don’t wanna lose
It was fever in the tropical sun on a warm summer day
But in the full moon’s light when we said goodnight
I knew it had to end this way
In a postcard love affair
I can’t remember just why, when, or where
I was dreamin’ of my postcard love affair
And now I wish I was still there
