the 4 aces - a stranger in paradise lyrics

(robert wright and george forrest)
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 commonplace into the rare
somewhere in space i hang suspended
until i know there's a chance that you care

won't you answer the 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 the stranger in paradise
and tell him that he need be
a stranger no more

take my hand
