David Gates - Strangers lyrics

See the couple walking by

You can tell they've lost the twinkle in their eye

There's no smiling when they laugh and there's no tears when they cry...

Now the magic is all gone

It makes you wonder what their lives are living on

They can hardly even make it through 'till dawn...

Strangers! - strangers! - strangers in the night!

Hoping ev'rything will turn out right

There's danger! - danger in the night!

You've got to move in closer to the light.

See the father and his son

From a distance don't it seem they're having fun

But just a little closer look reveals that they're having none...

Neither tries to understand

Both ashamed to give or get a helping hand

And so concerned the other thinks that he's a man...

Strangers! - strangers! - strangers in the night!

They're hoping ev'rything will turn out right

There's danger! - danger in the night!

You've got to move in closer to the light

Oh please help all the strangers in the night.

Though the answer may seem clear

It's still a ways to go to get from there to here

Just remember we're all strangers now to someone who's near...

Choose your words they're all like keys

That open doors that stand between the you's and me's

Today is not too late to start so if you please...

Strangers! - strangers! - strangers in the night!

Hopin' ev'rything will turn out right

They're strangers! - strangers to the light!

Ya got to move in closer to the light

Oh please help all the strangers in the night.
