Stranger In Paradise

Minha contribuição para o dia dos namorados: esta canção que também fez parte da trilha sonora de O Fantasma da Ópera!

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 the 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 that you care

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 this stranger in paradise

And tell him that he need be

A stranger no more

-from the musical "Kismet"-based on Borodin's "Polovtsian Dances"
