Gentle Stranger

Gentle Stranger,

you came into my life when i was feeling sad

and i looked up that day to see your face

shining in the sun, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

your eyes were kind

and you spoke softly to me

you were just passing through

tomorrow you would be gone

but we shared conversation and wine

and talked of many things

and on that night

i slept softly in your arms

and you kept me warm

you kept me from harm

you gave me love, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

yes, i knew you'd be leaving in the morning

by the dawn you'd be going on your way

but we can never know about tomorrow

and i know you made me beautiful, beautiful

today

Gentle Stranger,

i'm now returned again to lonely days and nights

but now i can not feel the pain so much

for a memory of you

comes and wraps itself around me in the dark

and in my dream

i sleep softly in your arms

and i am warm

i am safe from harm

i am loved

i am loved, i am loved

i am loved, i am loved

i am loved, i am loved
