Stranger
She sits in the cafe
Outside, it's pouring rain
She gazes across the street
And sees him there, again
Those eyes on fire
Burning into her soul
Taking her breath away
Who is he, will she ever know?
He's just a lonely stranger
Walking in her dreams
Just a haunting stranger
Those eyes so fiery green
He's just a handsome stranger
Here a fleeting glance
Just a mysterious stranger
The chase a part of the dance
She looks out the window
As he was getting drenched
Then he smiles at her
Causing her heart to clench
He weaves some kind of magic
Making her mind spin
Part of her wants to run away
But more to try to find him
She shakes her head in fury
How dare he play this game
Always staying out of reach
And never speaking his name
Her heart aches to be with him
To feel his arms surround
To feel his breath upon her cheek
His scent all wildy around
He's just a lonely stranger
Walking in her dreams
Just a haunting stranger
Those eyes so fiery green
He's just a handsome stranger
Here a fleeting glance
Just a mysterious stranger
The chase a part of the dance
She looks up from her coffee
At the blue glass door
Shall she venture out to find him
Or not know, forever more
Thinking of what she's about to do
Her heart quickens a pace
Will she have the courage
To look into that sweet face?
She rises from the table
But as she turns to go
He is standing there smiling
And whispers a soft Hello
The sound of his voice
Sings into her heart
Finally, the time has come
At last, the dance can start.
He's just a lonely stranger
Walking in her dreams
Just a haunting stranger
Those eyes so fiery green
He's just a handsome stranger
Here a fleeting glance
Just a mysterious stranger
The chase a part of the dance
She sits with him, eagerly
As they begin to talk
About movies, books, food
And nights with rain filled walks
Shared laughter and tears
As they pass the time away
Lost in the moment
Not wanting to part ways
She gazes into those eyes
Those eyes she knows so well
They look back into her
What stories will they tell
He then stands to leave
And gives her that one wish
Reaching down, he smiles
And gives her a gentle kiss.
He's just a lonely stranger
Walking in her dreams
Just a haunting stranger
Those eyes so fiery green
He's just a handsome stranger
Here a fleeting glance
Just a mysterious stranger
The chase a part of the dance
She watches his retreating back
Walk through that blue glass door
Amazed her dream has come to life
Hoping there is more
For she was lost that day
That she cannot deny
Now her heart belongs to him
That stranger with green eyes.
