Trying to verify the PARADISE ISLAND guess has come up empty.  Checking for 
lyrics I found only some of the Hal David lyrics:
"It's somewhere east of Steal-a-Kiss Ocean,
Where the Bay of Devotion meets Ecstasy Lagoon"
and
"A million moonlit palms seem to be waving their arms".
It doesn't look like a match.  The mystery continues.
