Paradise Is You Lyrics

Walking along on a sandy beach
Everybody's laughing under cigarette trees
And the water here is crystal clear and bright
The air is rich with a Hawaiian breeze
The grass is alive with sugar weeds
And the hill tops tuck in the bay for the night

And the palm trees make it feel like paradise
But without you here there's nothing nice
'Cause in your eyes
That's my paradise

When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new
My Paradise Is You, my paradise is you
When everything I know is slipping out of view
My paradise is you, my paradise is you

You
My heaven is you

The runners run and the teasers tease
But none of these faces can set me free
And the water here is crystal clear and bright
When I compare this pleasure beach
To all the places in your eyes that I have seen
It could be anywhere, if you're not by my side

And the palm trees make it feel like paradise
But without you here there's nothing nice
'Cause in your eyes
That's my paradise

When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new
My paradise is you, my paradise is you
When everything I know is slipping out of view
My paradise is you, my paradise is you

When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new
My paradise is you, my paradise is you
When everything I know is slipping out of view
My paradise is you, my paradise is you

You
My heaven is you
My heaven is you
My heaven is you

All my love is for you
Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

(When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new) All my love is for you
(My paradise is you, my paradise is you) Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

(When everything I know is slipping out of view) All my love is for you
(My paradise is you, my paradise is you) Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

(When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new) All my love is for you
(My paradise is you, my paradise is you) Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

(When everything I know is slipping out of view) All my love is for you
(My paradise is you, my paradise is you) Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

(When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new) All my love is for you
(My paradise is you, my paradise is you) Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

(When everything I know is slipping out of view) All my love is for you
(My paradise is you, my paradise is you) Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

(When all the roads ahead of me stop looking new) All my love is for you
(My paradise is you, my paradise is you) Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

(When everything I know is slipping out of view) All my love is for you
(My paradise is you, my paradise is you) Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying

All my love is for you
(My heaven is you) Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying (All my love is for you)

(My heaven is you) All my love is for you
(My heaven is you) Darling it's only you who can stop my heart from crying (All my love is for you)

Paradise Is You

This song finds La Roux's Elly Jackson in tropical paradise away from her beloved. However, without her lover, the palm-lined beach is "nothing nice."

The song is a track from La Roux's Trouble In Paradise album. Jackson explained its title to NME: "There are lot of themes to the record and I think that 'Trouble In Paradise' is a nice umbrella title," she said. "In songs I like the juxtaposition between dark and light. It's that feeling you get when you're in a club and there's a tune that's essentially a happy tune, but there's something about it that's melancholy – whether it's a chord, or one part of the melody, or one line of the lyrics – and it makes you feel like you could cry, but also run at the same time. That's what really gets me – that mood – and that's what the record tries to capture."

This track and the rest of the album's sunny atmosphere comes from growing up in Brixton, where La Roux still lives. (A large percentage of Brixton's population is of African and Caribbean descent). "I never really felt it came out on my first record," she told The Independent, "but I've always been fascinated by Caribbean culture."
