Captain & Tennille Gentle Stranger Lyrics

Gentle stranger, you came into my life
When I was feelin' sad
And I looked up that day
To see your face shinin' in the sun

Your eyes were kind and you spoke softly to me
You were just passing through
Tomorrow you would be gone
But we shared conversation and wine and talked of many things

And on that night I slept softly in your arms
And you'd kept me warm
You kept me from harm, you gave me love

Yes, I knew you'd be leavin' in the mornin'
By the dawn you'd be goin' on your way But we can never know about tomorrow
And I know you made me beautiful, beautiful today

Gentle stranger, I'm now returned again
To lonely days and nights
But now I cannot feel the pain so much

For a memory of you
Comes and wraps itself around me in the dark
And in my dream I sleep softly in your arms
And I am warm, I am safe from harm, I am loved

I am loved, I am loved
I am loved, I am loved
I am loved, I am loved
