Ray Conniff - Paradise lyrics

Take my hand I'm a stranger in paradise All lost in a wonderland A stranger in paradise If I stand starry-eyed That's a danger in paradise For mortals who stand beside An angel like you I saw your face, and I ascended Out of the commonplace Into the rare Somewhere in space I hang suspended Until I know there's a chance you care Won't you answer the fervent prayer Of a stranger in paradise? Don't send me in dark despair From all that I hunger for But open your angel arms To this stranger in paradise And tell him that he need be A stranger no more
