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.
