Paul Simon Stranger To Stranger Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stranger to stranger, if we met for the first time, this time
Could you imagine us falling in love again?
Words and melody, so the old story goes
Fall from summer trees when the wind blows

[Chorus]
I can't wait to see you walk across my doorway
I cannot be held accountable for the things I do or say
I'm just jittery, I'm just jittery
It's just a way of dealing with my joy
It's just a way of dealing with my joy
It's just a way of dealing
[Refrain]
Words and melodies
Easy harmony
Old-time remedies

[Verse 2]
All in good time, although most of the time it's just hard working
The same piece of clay day after day, year after year
Certain melodies tear your heart apart
Reconstruction is a lonesome art [Chorus 2]
But I love to watch you walk across my doorway
I cannot be held accountable for the things I do or say
I'm just jittery, I'm just jittery
It's just a way of dealing with my joy
It's just a way of dealing with my joy
Just a way of dealing with my joy

[Refrain]
Words and melody

[Verse 3]
Stranger to stranger, if we met for the first time, this time
Could you imagine us falling in love again?
Still believing that love endures
All the carnage and the useless detours
[Bridge]
Oh I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, love you, love you

[Refrain]
Words and melody
Easy harmony
Words and melody
