Stranger In Paradise Lyrics
Tony Bennett Feat. Andrea Bocelli
Lyrics
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 her
I saw her 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 she cares
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 the strangers in paradise
And tell us that we need be
Strangers no more
I saw her 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 she cares
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 the strangers in paradise
And tell us that we need be
Strangers no more
