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
