Perfect Strangers Songtext

von Neil Sedaka

An afternoon of sad affairs
Shared in the hope of mending broken dreams.
The constant struggle after simple pleasures
Finds us perfect strangers you and I.
You know I hate to see you cry.
And through the tears that fall like winter rain
You say you're tired of merely just surviving
We've so much in common
That we're
Perfect strangers singing perfectly in tune
From separate corners of the room.
Held together by our hunger to get by
Perfect strangers you and I.

Let's make a toast to no regrets
Wet down the painful sting of sweet love lost.
Let evening find us whisp'ring in our whisky
Come and sit beside me for a while.
You know I'd love to see you smile.
And if perhaps you're only passing through
At least we tried to reach an understanding
And for just a moment
We were perfect strangers singing perfectly in tune
From separate corners of the room.
Held together by our hunger to get by
Perfect strangers you and I.

Perfect strangers singing perfectly in tune
From separate corners of the room.
Held together by our hunger to get by
Perfect strangers you and I.
