Billy Eckstine

William Clarence Eckstine (July 8, 1914 – March 8, 1993) was an American singer of ballads and a bandleader of the swing era. Eckstine's smooth baritone and distinctive vibrato broke down barriers throughout the 1940s, first as leader of the original bop big-band, then as the first romantic black male in popular music. Eckstine's recording of "I Apologize" (MGM Pop Single, 1948) was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999. more »

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
