David Gates - Strangers lyrics

See the couple walking by You can tell they've lost the twinkle in their eye There's no smiling when they laugh and there's no tears when they cry... Now the magic is all gone It makes you wonder what their lives are living on They can hardly even make it through 'till dawn... Strangers! - strangers! - strangers in the night! Hoping ev'rything will turn out right There's danger! - danger in the night! You've got to move in closer to the light. See the father and his son From a distance don't it seem they're having fun But just a little closer look reveals that they're having none... Neither tries to understand Both ashamed to give or get a helping hand And so concerned the other thinks that he's a man... Strangers! - strangers! - strangers in the night! They're hoping ev'rything will turn out right There's danger! - danger in the night! You've got to move in closer to the light Oh please help all the strangers in the night. Though the answer may seem clear It's still a ways to go to get from there to here Just remember we're all strangers now to someone who's near... Choose your words they're all like keys That open doors that stand between the you's and me's Today is not too late to start so if you please... Strangers! - strangers! - strangers in the night! Hopin' ev'rything will turn out right They're strangers! - strangers to the light! Ya got to move in closer to the light Oh please help all the strangers in the night.
