Marvin Gaye - Stranger In My Life Lyrics






Suddenly a stranger entered my life
Like I pictured her to be
Started my emotions running free
Oh, just like the waters in the sea

As she looked at me with a smile so sincere
My heart started to sing in a voice, I'm sure she could hear
I reached out for a tender loving kiss
Only to find my love didn't even exist, oh baby

I then realized it was just a dream
The candlelight burning such a radiant beam
Oh how I yearned for this dream to come true
For just one exciting moment with someone like you

But as I sat there with tears falling from my eyes
I seemed to dream a thousand and one sighs
Yeah, hope was passing by with a slow unhappy pace
And all there was for me was the bitterest taste

Oh baby, stranger in my life, surely it was
Stranger in my life, oh baby

But as I sat there, tears falling from my eyes
The stranger in my life reached out
Honey reached out for me
And opened my world of loneliness with a magical kiss

Stranger in my life, tell you she's so fine
Stranger in my life, she's wonderful
Stranger in my life, telling you she's fine
Stranger in my life

  60. G.... V....

    You have to wonder how a genius(Marvin Gaye) lost his way....He should have been swimming in money, and I don't believe it's as simple as putting the blame on his father.

    G.... V....

    We are a product of our childhood ,for what Marvin went through one can only relate if one has experienced the same sorrow and confusion Marvin did . He was beautiful soul I met him personally .

  61. L.... O....

    I would love to hear Daryl Hall do a rendition of this. Daryl in some ways reminds me of Marvin. He loves Marvin as one of his favorites.

  62. V.... A....

    Saudades! !!😓

  63. L.... O....

    So emotional and sensitive so enigmatic. Was this an actual person or someone he wished existed but didn't. I can so relate to his esoteric ethereal consciousness.

  64. L.... O....

    I know what this means to me but what was Marvins ?

    L.... O....

    It Is a secret only one person will ever know .

  65. S.... C....
