Andy Williams - Stranger On The Shore Lyrics

The music was originally called Jenny it was written for his daughter.
The music was then used for a tv serial called " stranger on the shore" so the song was retitled to that of the tv show.
Obviously never written with any lyrics, but a huge hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
Interesting to hear it with lyrics

Adrina The Great. Sorry Adrina, Acker Bilks daughter is named JENNY. Merry Christmas to you 🎄

@Stephen Andrews I knew that, not sure why I put Annie, its corrected now.
Merry Christmas to you :)

Adrina The Great. Hey Adrina can I just say a big congratulations to you, for probably the quickest response I have ever had on YouTube 🥇💐

@Stephen Andrews yea that was pretty quick and thanks

What is the company with that driverless car?

Man I love Tae

Just wondering why if Acker Biilk wrote this, & Andy recorded it in '58... why did it take until '61 for Biilk to record & release it?🎸

This is a great song and this version by Andy Williams terrific, but then listen to the Roger Whittaker version and make a determination on which is best.

This Beautiful song keep on coming back to my mind even after 50 years!

My favorite song ... nice voice

Thank you babyboy taetae💓I have the same music taste as him so I enjoy this very much. Time to sleep 😴🌃

Crushed it!

One of my favorite songs!

이 노 래 좋 네. Btw sounds like Elvis

remember my dad n mom i love you rest in peace.

This song is better than sleeping pills😴😴

Great song and good singer

I love Stranger on the Shore. This is the first time hearing the lyrics. Beautiful...and sad.

youre just not used to real music you've been listening to noise

Acker Bilk said he wrote the tune in twenty minutes for his daughter in his lounge while watching his daughter.

I love this lonely song!  ( SIGH)

thanks alice,its the first time that i have ever heard the lyrics to a wonderful song thank you !!

Just imagine
"That one lucky girl that Tae marries. They both will dance to classic songs wearing Gucci sweaters (that Tae bought her) infront of the warm fireplace as the girl puts her head on his shoulder.
Then he hands out a boquet of her favorite flowers from the local flower shop downtown.
Then she, surprised will wrap her arms around Tae and he hugs her even tighter.
yea, I just wanna say hello and please take care of taehyung to that one lucky girl. Hope you make each other happy ((:

I see you everywhere with the same comment 😂

i love this melody i just 17 i think i have old soul

Same man

I think you just have good tastes in music.

I have the 45 of this, but it was originally an instrumental hit for Mr. Acker Bilk.

Karl Pilkington brought me here

Rest in peace, Grandma. We love you

we will never hear music like this anymore

this is a nice rendition by Andy Williams. and for those of you who have not heard Roger Whittaker sing the same song I urge you to look it up Roger Whittaker does a wonderful job with this song.
thank you for posting this song very nice

Lovely song, one of the tunes I heard in my childhood that stuck with me through the years. I'd actually never heard Andy Williams sing it, only Acker Bilk perform the instrumental version. Nice photos and thanks for posting!

Very nice, Alice. Always liked Andy Williams, and of course, Acker Bilk. Nice to find this vocal.

So glad you liked it Robert! I like them both too :)

This was the theme tune to a programme about a young French Aupair working in England, back in the early 60´s. She would stand on the shore looking across to France at the end.

Very nice. However, as a former sailor, I like hearing Ruby and the Romantics singing this song.

why o why indeed. love this song

Very nice vid!

How I loved this tune. Thanks for giving me a chance to listen to this lovely music.

This piece was originally titled "Jenny," in honor of Acker's daughter.

Rest in Peace Acker Bilk...and Thank you Andy for singing this amazing song...I am 34 years old but I know what music is...

MrJazkiller you should be around 37 now

A beautiful, beautiful melody by Acker Bilk, heard here with an unfortunately substandard lyric; simply unworthy (in spite of Andy Williams' fine voice).

Thanks for posting, and especially for the informative text. ;^)

William and Bilk  ,  can't do better than that !   RIP to both

One of my favorites

perfect !!!!    How can a couple listen to this piece of music and not get up and waltz together in the kitchen

What a discovery one my all time faves instrumentals sung by One of my fave singers thanx a milliom

You're most welcome David! Glad you liked this version!

never realised williams had such a great voice. would have loved to hear dean martin sing this to, but i prefer the clarinet bilk version.

Words overwhelm this beautiful music.  It was meant to stand alone and words just interrupt my imagination.

Still a great song.

RIP Acker Bilk (1929-2014).

Oh wow, never realised there were lyrics..has given me goosebumps! RIP Acker.

I like both this version and the instrumental one!

I never knew this song was made with lyrics..got to say after 40 plus years im impressed..thank you for this.

My pleasure! Thank you for stopping by. Please feel free to check out my other uploads.

I like this video very much!

Thank you! Glad you like it.

Thank you for dropping by, Bob. Like you, I love both this version and Kenny G's interpretation - thanks for sharing it.

No matter the version, I've always loved this song. Thanks for the sub on my other channel, Alice.

Thank you for watching!

Beautiful song AND splendid selection of imagery!
