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 (Abdim7)night was (Gm)through.

Some thing in your eyes

was so in vit ing, (Gm7)some thing in your smile

was so ex cit ing, (C9)some thing in my heart

told me I must have (F)you.

(A)Stran gers in the night,

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

up to the mo ment when we (Gm)said our first hel lo

(Bbm)lit tle did we know

(F)love was just a (Dm7)glance a way, a (Gm7)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.

(C7)It turned out so right

for stran gers (Gm7)in (C7)the (F)night.
