Shall I Let This Good Man In Lyrics - K's Choice

Hey, Stranger 

Would you come in through my door 

If not now I'll leave it ajar 

And then maybe you could come back 

I'll be waiting here for you 

I'll be hoping here for you 

I'll be praying here that you'll believe it's true 

That in all these lonely years 

I would have loved your company 

But I never could give in 

To this fragile side of me 

You see I've always been a man of great ambition 

But success just turned his back & never came 

And now I find I became a man 

Of even greater solitude 

And I wish I'd spend more time making friends 

With guys like you 

Oh, Stranger 

How can I make you stay? 

For a little while 

Oh, Stranger 

Please, don't go away 

I'm living on 

I'm singing on 

Just let me sing one song for you 

Hey, Stranger 

This is my song 

It is old & it is wrinkle 

I tried it for too long 

I tried it time after time 

To forget about myself 

And to hide in it a while 

But a while's been goin' on 

Since I can't remember when 

And got catched up by the life 

Of a lost & lonely man 

I think I'm-a sung away a little faster 

Then I planned 

Hey, Stranger 

This is my life 

I can't use it anymore 

For I share it with no one but myself 

I can't fool you anymore 

Let me hide with you a while 

Let me try a little while 

And then maybe 

You'll believe it's true 

That in all the years I spent 

With the glory of a fool 

Making diamonds outta tears 

On the highest bid to go 

I've been searching for a friend 

To tell my troubles to 

But I could never understand 

How to get out of that cell 

Please don't send me back to hell
