A Stranger In The Night

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Key of d

(d) i'm lonesome for someone, to (g) kiss me good - (d) night,

Just the way you used to (a7) do,

My (d) achin' heart needs someone, to (g) shine love's (d) light,

For without you, i'll (a7) always be (d) blue.

1st chorus

(d) if i (g) don't have you, to (d) help me along,

I (g) know i can never go (d) right,

With - (g) out you beside me, to (d) show me the way,

I'm lost, like a (a7) stranger in the (d) night.

Like a lonely dove that flies, from pine to pine,

My heart can't be gay and light,

Like sightless eyes, that will never see the sun,

I'm lost, like a stranger in the night.

2nd chorus

There's no need for me, to even try,

Nothin' will turn out right,

When i lost your love, i lost the will to live,

And i'm lost, like a stranger in the night

3rd chorus

Like a broken heart, that's lost on life's sea,

Tho i pray with all my might,

I know i can't face, to - morrow alone,

And i'm lost, like a stranger in the night.
