[Verse 1]
Is not what you got
It’s what you give
It’s not how you die
It’s how you live
It’s not what you read
It’s what you solve
It’s not what you keep now
It’s what you let go

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, Now now easy does it
Make this moment last
Don’t worry about the future
Don’t forget about the past

[Chorus]
It don’t really matter
Where I’ve been
Or what I’ve done
I just keep on searching
For that island in the sun
I’m just searching
For that island in the sun
I’m gonna find my island in the sun

[Verse 2]
No No location
It ain’t on the map
It takes concentration
All into your lap
It ain’t in the whiskey
It ain’t in the drug
It could be a woman with you
Who leads you to love

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Easy does it
Make this moment last
Don’t worry about the future
Don’t forget about the past

[Chorus 2]
Don’t really matter
Where I’ve been
Or what I’ve done
I just keep on searching
For that island in the sun
I’m just searching
For that island in the sun
I’m gonna keep on searching
Island in the sun

[Bridge]
Once upon a time
I couldn’t move without a spliff
Then I wouldn’t stop hiding
I got so much more to give
I got so much more to give
I got so much love to give

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
It don’t really matter
Where I’ve been
Or what I’ve done
I just keep on searching
For my island in the sun
I’m just searching
I’m gonna keep on searching
For that island in the sun
Island in the sun
I got to keep on searching
Island in the sun

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
