"Perfect Stranger" lyrics

"Perfect Stranger"

If someone could only talk to me
And show me the way through sorrow
And make me the man I'm supposed to be
I could see clear tomorrow

And there she is
There she is

I search for the same things every day
Somebody's got my answers
And someone could calm this curse away
Down with the moonlight dancers

Well, there she is
Your perfect stranger
In her eyes
You see your future
She's the one
Your nights are long for
Go on and tell her so
And then you'll know
She knows, she knows, she's wonderful

Lifeline glances and steamboat chances
She knows that much
Small town traces and strange new places
She shows that much...

If someone could just get close to me
Someone the stars appear for
And show me the things I'm 'sposed to see
And all of the dreams I'm here for

Well, there she is
Your perfect stranger
In her eyes
You see your future
She's the one
Your nights are long for
Go on and tell her so
And then you'll know
She knows, she knows, she's wonderful

There she is
Your perfect stranger
In her eyes
You see your future
She's the one
Your nights are long for
Go on and tell her so
And then you'll know
She knows, she knows, she's wonderful

There she is
There she is
There she is
Your perfect stranger
(Ah... perfect stranger)
There she is
Your perfect stranger
(Ah... perfect stranger)
There she is
Your perfect stranger
(Ah... perfect stranger)
There she is
Your perfect stranger
