Neil Diamond - A Stranger In Paradise Lyrics






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 a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside
An angel like you
I saw your face
And I ascended
Out of the common place
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

    Early in his career, the critics referred to him as this negro lad. Johnny ignored those labels, concentrated on his music , stayed out of politics and kept his personal life very private. The man did everything right, that's why he became the man for all seasons. One of the greatest singers of our time, I just love his songs. They've helped me win the heart of many a pretty maiden.

    Johnny, I grew up the same time you did and you were always my favorite singer. You still are.
    God bless you and keep you safe.

  55. J.... D....

    Johnny trained as an opera singer. We are blessed he decided on popular music. One of the greats.

    J.... D....

    very interesting, i didn't know that he trained as an opera singer. that helps account for the light-opera sensibility he accords to pop tunes.

    J.... D....

    No he didnt...where did you that bit of mis-information from?

    J.... D....

    @Anonny Muss Connie Cox was his musical teacher and trained him in opera and musical scales. I do not know if he intended to actually perform opera.

    J.... D....

    Just learned in a recent interview that Connie Cox was an opera singer. If you listen closely to John's diction, you will definitely hear her influence and teaching on pronunciation of words. You ALWAYS hear the "wh" and "t" in his words.

    J.... D....

    Anonny Muss Even me who hardly has knowledge in music can tell he's had opera lessons, he's the first singer to make notice such a thing. Made me appreciate opera too.

  56. T.... J....

    ...always consistently eloquent and so romantic...

  57. A.... ....

    Johnny was sent to us from Heaven to make our world a better place with his voice. All glory to all the great song writers as well.

    A.... ....

    É magnífico ouvir boa música em interpretações com qualidade técnica vocal e tamanho zelo .

  58. J.... D....

    Brilliant sounds the same now as he did 40 years ago

  59. w.... ....

    Had the pleasure of attending one of his most recent tour concerts, I would say he still got the pipes. What a voice!

  60. A.... S....

    He is very handsome during this concert.  You make us all so proud Johnny Mathis.

  61. A.... S....

    He gives it all, just watching his facial expression, one can feel his emotions, very lovely, lovely and at the end of the song, is wonderful.

  62. A.... G....

    Hermoso, divino e inolvidable tema, Johnny Mathis su voz es preciosa.  Muchas gracias.
