I Am Not a Stranger Here

I don’t know this town,
But it’s your town—
So it’s my town too;
I don’t know that girl,
But she knows you—
So she’s my friend too;
I don’t know my way,
But I can count on you
To show it to me;
I am not a stranger
When I’m with you,
When I’m with you.
(D-d-do do do do do.)
Your mother seems to like me,
And you tell me
That it’s true;
Your cousin makes me food
That I have only ever
Dreamed of trying!;
I can tell that I
Could be so happy here
With you forever;
I am not a stranger
When I’m with you,
When I’m with you.
(D-d-do do do do d-d-do.)
Your room is a cave
That offers shelter from the stormy weather and
Beneath a pile of blankets we can
Hide away together, we can
Hide away together, we can
Hide away together, we can
Hide away together, we can…
When it’s time for me
To up and leave, there’s
A part of me I can’t make follow;
All day long
I’m longing for you,
And the tears are so hard to swallow;
After knowing
Life with you,
Life without you
Leaves me hollow… oh…
I don’t know my way,
But I can count on you
To show it to me;
I am not a stranger
When I’m with you,
When I’m with you;
I don’t know this road,
But I can count on you
To lead me down it;
I am not a stranger
When I’m with
You, when I’m with
You, when I’m with
You, when I’m with
You.
