Lyrics

(F)Stran gers in the night,

ex chang ing glanc es, won d’ring in the night

what were the chanc es we’d be shar ing love

be fore the (Fdim)night was (Gm)through.

Some thing in your eyes

was so in vit ing, some thing in your smile

was so ex cit ing, some thing in my heart

told me I must have (F)you.

(Cm6)Stran gers in the night,

two lone ly peo ple, we were (D7)stran gers in the night

up to the mo ment when we (Gm)said our first hel lo, (Bbm6)lit tle did we know, (F)love was just a (Dm)glance a way, a (Gm)warm em brac ing (C7)dance a way.

And (F)ev er since that night

we’ve been to geth er, lov ers at first sight

in love for ev er.

(Gm)It turned out so right

for stran gers in the (F)night.

Strangers In The Night by Frank Sinatra — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Strangers In The Night” by Frank Sinatra in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Bb at 100 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
