Intro :
You never asked for much but I l oved you just the same
You with your quiet eyes and a f ace without a n ame
You stood there staring as I s ang another song
W e were strangers then w e weren't strangers l ong
It was a ll that I could do not to t urn away and hide
You stared right through me as you s tood there at my s ide
The things I read in those blue eyes they s eemed so calm and strong
W e were strangers then w e weren't strangers l ong
Now w e weren't strangers long though we n ever spoke at all
But i n your eyes I saw you knew we were h eading for a fall
I l ove you so completely I never t hought it might be wrong
W e were strangers then but w e weren't strangers l ong

We weren't strangers l ong though we n ever spoke at all
I n your eyes I saw you knew we were h eading for a fall
I k new you so completely I never t hought it might be wrong
We were strangers then but w e weren't strangers l ong
Just like a book when it's r ead between the lines
It's the w ords that weren't spoken that t old me you were m ine
And now the pages turn but the s tory still goes on
We were strangers then w e weren't s trangers l ong
