(Robert Wright and George Forrest)
|
Take my hand
|
I'm a stranger in paradise
|
All lost in a wonderland
|
A stranger in paradise
|
If I stand starry-eyed
|
That's a danger in paradise
|
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you
|
|
I saw your face and I ascended
|
Out of the commonplace into the rare somewhere
|
In space I hang suspended
|
Until I know there's a chance that you care
|
|
Won't you answer this fervent prayer
|
Of a stranger in paradise
|
Don't send me in dark despair
|
From all that I hunger for
|
|
But open your angel's arms
|
To this stranger in paradise
|
And tell him that he need be
|
A stranger no more
|
