Stranger In Paradise

Tony Bennett

Take my hand
Im a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
Thats the danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you

I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the common place and into the rare
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
Until Im old
theres a chance that you care

Wont you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Dont send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angels arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more
