Neil Diamond - Love with the proper stranger lyrics

I could fall in love with the proper stranger

If I heard the bells and the banjos ring

If two certain eyes with the look of danger

Smiled a welcome warm as spring

If the beating in my heart

Sounded out a warning

"Don't let her"

"Don't let her walk through the door"

"This is the one you've been waiting for"

Oh, yes, I'd know

However wild it seems,

You know I'd know

And I'd whisper

"Come take my hand, proper stranger"

"Don't go through life as a stranger"

"For I'm a poor proper stranger, too"

"Don't let her,"

"Don't let her walk through the door"

"This is the one you've been waiting for"

Oh, yes, I'd know

However wild it seems,

You know I'd know

And I'd whisper

"Come take my hand, proper stranger"

"Don't go through life as a stranger"

"For I'm a poor proper stranger, too"
