I could fall in love with the proper stranger
|
If I heard the bells and the banjos ring
|
If two certain eyes with the look of danger
|
Smiled a welcome warm as Spring
|
If the tom-tom in my heart sounded out a warning
|
"Don't let her, don't let her walk through the door"
|
"This is the one you've been waiting for"
|
Oh, yes, I'd know
|
However wild it seems, you know I'd know
|
And I'd whisper
|
"Come take my hand, proper stranger"
|
"Don't go through life as a stranger"
|
"For I'm a poor proper stranger, too"
|
