Stranger in my life lyrics
Suddenly a stranger entered my life
Like I pictured her to be
Started my emotions running free
Oh, just like the waters in the sea
As she looked at me with a smile so sincere
My heart started to sing in a voice I'm sure she could hear
I reached out for a tender, loving kiss
Only to find my love didn't even exist, oh, baby
I then realized it was just a dream
The candlelight burning such a radiant beam
Oh, how I yearned for this dream to come true
For just one exciting moment with someone like you
But as I sat there with tears falling from my eyes
I seemed to dream a thousand & one sighs
Yeah, hope was passing by with a slow unhappy pace
& All there was for me was the bitterest taste
Oh, baby
Stranger in my life
Surely it was
Stranger in my life
Oh, baby
But as I sat there, tears falling from my eyes
The stranger in my life reached out
Honey reached out for me
& Opened my world of lonliness with a magical kiss
Stranger in my life
Tell you she's so fine
Stranger in my life
She's wonderful
Stranger in my life
Telling you she's fine
Stranger in my life
