 When all the thrills have been forgotten
 The chill of night can call them home
 And all the dreams that you left stranded
 Will slowly start to come along
 I felt it as she slipped  away (slipped away)
 I didn't have  the words  to say
When  I saw the stranger
 A stranger on a quiet  street
Stranger  on a quiet  street
 You can go straight as an arrow
 You can go straight as you dare
 Walkin' the old straight and narrow
 Don't always get you there
 The sun was shining when I saw  it all
 She was moving  to a different beat
 When I met a stranger
 A stranger on a quiet  street
Stranger  on a quiet  street
 (ooooh  ooooh)
 (ooooh  ooooh)
 It came to me out of  the blue (of the blue)
 There came the moment  that I really  knew
 When I met a stranger
 A stranger on a quiet  street
Stranger  on a quiet  street
(Stranger  on a quiet street, stranger  on a quiet street)
 Stranger on a quiet street
(Stranger  on a quiet street, stranger  on a quiet street)
