Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thank you so much
We have some wonderful Broadway songs
For you, ladies and gentlemen
Through the years
There've been so many beautiful songs
Written by so many wonderful people
[Verse 2]
Take my hand
I'm a stranger in Paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in Paradise
[Verse 3]
If I stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in Paradise
For mortals who stand beside
An angel like you
[Verse 4]
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 that you care
[Verse 5]
Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger In Paradise?
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To the stranger in Paradise
And tell him that he need be a stranger no more
Written by: Alexander Borodin, George Forrest, Robert Wright
