Lyrics: Strangers In The Night
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond’ring in the night what were the chances
We’d be sharing love before the night was throughSomething in your eyes was so inviting
Something in your smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have youStrangers in the night
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance awayand
Ever since that night we’ve been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night[instrumental-first three lines of chorus]
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away
Ever since that night we’ve been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night[Dooby-doooby-doo and other scat to end]
