Perfect strangers
Both of us know the dangers
Sharing secrets
In each others arms
Time is passing (I am all but frozen)
One chance is all we're asking (put your arms around me)
Somehow, somewhere (don't know why you've chosen)
Love will find a way (someone like me)
Gently, slowly, let me, fall in love with you
Far across the ocean in the darkest night
I was sailing on the ship of fools
But looking in your eyes I see the harbour lights
Now I just want to stay with you
So take my hand, follow me
Understand what I need
And love me as if you've always loved me
'Till the mornin' light
And it's alright
You're the perfect stranger tonight
My love, for you, fills my heart
The more you, hold me, gently
In your loving arms
Open hearted (I am just a shadow)
I love the love we've started (shine your light upon me)
Sharing, dreaming (you're the only answer)
In this place and time (I've been waiting for)
Once in a lifetime, you find love, let it be tonight
Far across the ocean in the darkest night
I was sailing on the ship of fools
But looking in your eyes I see the harbour lights
Now I just want to stay with you
So take my hand, follow me
Understand what I need
And love me as if you've always loved me
'Till the mornin' light
And it's alright
You're the perfect stranger tonight
