We seem like passing strangers now
How can you hurry by
There were never two who loved
Half as much as you and I

We seem like passing strangers now
Funny how things can change
We were so inseparable
Now you're acting very strange

The hands I used to touch
Don't even wave hello
How I miss your lips
You'll never know

If you would only turn to me
Speak my name just once more
You might find right there and then
Strangers can be lovers again

The hands I used to touch
Don't even wave hello
How I miss your lips
You'll never know

If you would only turn to me
Speak my name just once more
You might find right there and then
Strangers can be lovers again

    The words of this song resonates with everyone. They are so beautiful and meaningful. I feel in these words the huge sadness of the heart. The lover who is now a total stranger and who no longer even look your way.
    Whilst visiting the Island of Nevis in the Caribbean, I sang this very song accompanied by a local Taxi Driver, as he was dropping me off at Pinneys Beach one evening....so this song transcends nations, and I shall never forget that moment, when he and I sang and shared the love of Sarah Vaughan and this special song.
