Stranger In The Crowd

(Winfield Scott)





I'd been standing on the corner since a quarter after seven
I was down to my last cigarette and the clock in the window
had a quarter to eleven
I was watching all the people passing by goin' places
Just the loneliest guy in the town lookin' for a friendly smile
But all that I could see was faces and then
Just like a taste of milk and honey
I found the stranger I'd been lookin' for


* Though in a way my cup of love was overflowin'
I knew the stranger in the crowd and I would be strangers no more


Love had found us on the corner at a quarter to eleven
I thought you were too good to be true
All my life I had believed that angels only lived in heaven
But now we shared a taste of milk and honey
Each day is sweeter than the day before


My cup of love was overflowing
Because a stranger in the crowd and I would be strangers no more
Play it Sam


Deep inside my cup of love was overflowin'
I found the stranger I'd been lookin' for


* Repeat


I knew the stranger in the crowd and I would be strangers no more

    I've been standing on a corner
            Dm
    Since a quarter after seven
          G
    I was down to my last cigarette

             G
    Just the loneliest guy in the town
            C              Am
    Looking for a friendly smile
            Dm                    G

    That angels only live in heaven
        C                                   G
    But now, we share the taste of milk and honey

    Each day is sweeter than the day before
