The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Just like a thunderbolt out of the sky
My dreams went crashing
When you said “goodbye”
Who’d think that after all I’ve been to you
That you and I would be through
Chorus
Strangers
Once I called you sweetheart
Now we’re strangers
Gee, it breaks my heart
To see you day after day
Turning away as much as to say
You’ve never known me
Strangers
After sharing all your kisses
Now I’m sad and blue
Altho’ you pretend that you and I are
Strangers
I’m still in love with you
- Each time I see you, dear
Sweet memories start
And on my lips I form the word “Sweetheart”
Oh, how I wish we could be friends again
But every wish is in vain
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
