La la la...
Oh, you and i are the best of strangers now
Oh, babe, the only shame is
Long times bring many changes
And you and i
Are the best of strangers now
I remember clearly still
Sunday afternoon when we were kids i dared you swim that muddy stream
And you know something, you did
And you did it just for me
And from the day i felt i knew
We'd always been together through the rain and snow i know you felt the same, you told me so
You'd love me 'til the twilight of our days
Oh, babe, the only shame is
Long times bring many changes
And you and i
Are the best of strangers now
Oh, babe, the only shame is
Long times have rearranged us
And you and i
Are the best of strangers now
I can hear the church bell still
People call us young and foolish kids i had a feeling that it might rain
And you know something, it did
You were cold and oh so blue
And we sheltered in that small cafe
We talked away the hours all through the day i know i even prayed the rain might stay
To keep you there beside me 'til i die
Oh, babe, the only shame is
Long times bring many changes
And you and i
Are the best of strangers now
La la la...
Oh, babe, the only shame is
Long times have rearranged us
And you and i
Are the best of strangers now
Oh, babe, the only shame is
Long times have rearranged us
And you and i
Are the best of strangers now
La la la...
Oh, babe, the only shame is... (fade)
