Lost To A Stranger
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.
We went out one evenin', my darlin' and I.
She seemed so different and I wondered why.
We stopped at a tavern and there I could see.
That she loved another one better than me.
The band was playin' an old fashioned waltz.
The dance floor was crowded and I wasn't long,
When up stepped a stranger, I never had seen.
He asked my darlin': "Will you dance with me?"
While they were dancin', I sat alone.
I knew I had lost her, the one I loved.
Lost to a stranger I never had seen.
The waltz they were playin' had ended my dream.
Instrumental break.
While they were dancin', I sat alone.
I knew I had lost her, the one I loved.
Lost to a stranger I never had seen.
The waltz they were playin' had ended my dream
