Frank Sinatra - Strangers In The Night Lyrics

Frank Sinatra Lyrics

"Strangers In The Night"

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night what were the chances
We'd be sharing love before the night was through

Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in your smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you

Strangers in the night
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

and

Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night

[instrumental-first three lines of chorus]

Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night

[Dooby-doooby-doo and other scat to end]

This song was originally used under the title "Beddy Bye" as part of the instrumental score for the film "A Man Could Get Killed" (1966).

Melina Mercouri was given "Strangers In The Night", but she declined it because she thought that a man's vocal would fit to it better.

This is the title track for Frank Sinatra's 1966 album, which became his most successful album. The song reached the top on Billboard Hot 100 and on the UK Singles Chart.

The song won the Grammy Awards for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and for Record of the Year in 1967.
