Charlie Louvin - Perfect Stranger lyrics

The conversation seems to stop as soon as we walk in

And everybody calls to you and asks you where you've been

I fade into the background of an old familiar show

As I become a perfect stranger everywhere we go

Everywhere we go you seem to find some new old friend

And it's not long before I'm on the outside looking in

To other eyes I'm just a guy that no one seems to know

And I remain a perfect stranger everywhere we go

[ steel ]

I step aside for some old friend watch you while you dance

And I can see a million mem'ries in each stolen glance

They're all reminders from a past that I won't ever know

Cause I remain a perfect stranger everywhere we go

Everywhere we go you seem to find some new old friend

And it's not long before I'm on the outside looking in

I know that I could lose you if I let my feelings show

So I'll remain a perfect stranger everywhere we go
