Billy Ocean (born Leslie Sebastian Charles; 21 January 1950) is a Trinidadian-born English recording artist who had a string of R&B international pop hits in the 1970s and 1980s. He was the most popular British R&B singer-songwriter of the early to mid-1980s. After scoring his first four UK Top 20 successes, seven years passed before he accumulated a series of transatlantic successes, including three U.S. number ones. In 1985, Ocean won the Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for his worldwide hit, "Caribbean Queen", and in 1987 was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male Artist.
In 2002, the University of Westminster, London, awarded Ocean an honorary doctorate of music. In 2010, Ocean was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the MOBO Awards. On 29 July 2011, Ocean became a Companion of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, presented to him by Sir Paul McCartney. He is a member of the Rastafari movement.
I really wanna spend my life with you
It's like it's that I can't deny
It's like I wanna run away with you
It's like I wanna tell everyone
[Chorus:]
That we're leaving far far away
That we're leaving never coming back
We'll do like Peter Pan and his own world
Where we can fly and love forever yeah
Love forever yeah
I always wanna make you happy
Always wanna make you smile
I wanna count the stars in the universe
With you love
You have to know I love you
Cause I know you love me back
So go ahead and close your eyes
And tell everyone
[Chorus]
And minutes will be hours
And hours days
And before you know it we'll be very far
And then we'll scape to Rome, Egypt or France
And if someone dares to ask we'll say that
We're running very far far
We'll be far away
The World will be in your hands
We'll make the difference and
We'll say what we want
We don't care if someone cares
We're not gonna stay we're still gonna say
