Stranger in Paradise

Stranger in Paradise - Johnny Mathis

Written by：George Forrest/Robert Wright/Alexander Borodin

Oh why do the leaves of the mulberry tree

Whisper differently now

And why is the nightingale singing

At noon on the mulberry bough

For some most mysterious reason

This isn't garden I know

No it's paradise now

That was only a garden a moment a go

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 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
