The Stranger Lyrics - Singles - Melissa Ferrick

waiting wanting 

to see you in my eyes 

finding feelings 

that I thought were buried inside. 

because I never thought that I 

could ever love like this 

but you have 

proven me wrong. 

you the stranger who took a chance 

held me at a distance so I could see myself. 

so thank you for everything you gave without knowing 

and thank you for letting me fall in love 

without withholding 

without withholding 

so let me in now 

I am ready to move 

and here comes fear and resistance from you 

and for once I am willing and now what ive got to wait? 

these lessons are everywhere in my life 

you know I never waited for anyone and I was always right 

but ya, now I give up I surrender 

I would wait for you...forever 

you the stranger who took a chance 

held me at a distance so I could see myself 

so thank you for everything you gave without knowing 

and thank you for letting me fall in love with you 

without withholding 

without withholding 

so come on and test me 

go on and try it 

because I know that I fit perfectly inside you 

and to deny this love would be to deny your heart 

and youre going be the one who breaks it 

baby if you choose to walk! 

yeah, you the stranger who took a chance 

held me at a distance so I could see myself 

so thank you for everything you gave without knowing 

and thank you for letting me fall in love... 

yeah, you the stranger who took a chance 

held me at a distance so I could see myself 

so thank you for everything you gave without knowing 

and thank you for letting me fall in love 

without withholding 

without withholding.
