Lyrics
I can't fall asleep
This loneliness wont let me go
my thoughts drift off to you
I wonder what you're doing at this moment
Cause here tonight the rain is falling down
Will you think of me
When it gets around to you
Half a world away
I wanna be Half A World Away
I wanna be Half A World Away
I wanna be Half A World Away
With you
I wish I had wings that I could fly
Across all those long and lonely miles
But here I am tonight half a world away
In your loving eyes
I see my hearts reflection
You speak to me alone
With a language all our own
when we're together.
And I still feel the touch here in the dark
But holding on to it is the holdest part for me
Wanting you
Half a world away
I wanna be Half A World Away
I wanna be Half A World Away
I wanna be Half A World Away
with you
I wish I had wings that I could fly
Across all those long and lonely miles
But here I am tonight
Half a world away
Every letter you write helps me through one more night
But my dreams seem incomplete
Because the story can't end
'Till I hold you again in my arms
In the final scene
Half a world away
I wannna be Half a World Away
I wanna be Half A World Away
Aww ... with-a-you
I wish I had wings that I could fly
Across all those long and lonely miles
but here I am tonight, half a world away
But here I am tonight, half a world away

Growing up in Jamaica this was the song that plays on the radio none stop. My little mind would just be seeing stars in the darken skies. This is still a hit.

This song was introduced to me by my husband while he was in JA waiting on his immigration papers and I was literally half the world away. The song was our anthem and kept me hopeful for almost 4 long years. Still get that bubbly feeling to this day when I hear the song!!

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVED (and still do) this amazing song. It was popular when I was in H.S. in Jamaica. As I grew up, thought I imagined it coz I couldn't find a video anywhere. But here it is, 25+ years later. Looooove this song. @PaulJohnson you definitely should have been a bigger star. This song still gives me chills. Thank you!
Massive tune! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲...I've searched for years to find this hit tune! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾...from back in the day y'all 😃🍾👏🏾...big tune! ...she's still on my mind! 😃👏🏾🎆🍾.

Jamaica Jamaica land I love ❤❤❤ No matter how far always rep no place like jam dung!!!
Unfortunately, as a Jamaican this song brings back sad memories for me. A family friend tragically died, and this song played continuously before and at his funeral. 😢 Don't think the family ever got over his death. Infact, no one has. Just now I was crying inside and almost cried outwardly. Had to contain myself.. Smh. Songs evokes such memories and emotions. RIP my friend.
