the wicked thoughts of a trespassing mind

Stranger In Paradise

Written by - Robert Wright & 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
