Stranger in Paradise (From Kismet) (Album Version)

stranger in paradise

-engebert humperdink

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 the danger in paradise

for mortals who stand beside an angel like you

i saw your face ascending

out of the common place and into the rare

now somewhere out in space i hang suspended

until i'm certain

that 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

so open your angel's arms

to this stranger in paradise

and tell her that he need be

a stranger no more

(------ music ------)

so open your angel's arms

to this stranger in paradise

and tell her that he need be

a stranger no more
