Perfect Stranger
Music and Lyrics by James McNair Ramsey

Walkin’ down this lonely street, the cars they pass me by
And somewhere deep inside of me I ask the reason why
For if it’s true that love is real then love should find a way
To penetrate this emptiness, end my rainy day

For I’ve been far too long without your love, without your harmony
Far too long without the things that mean so much to me
Were I to find the passageway I’d meet you over there
Come on, Baby, talk to me, show me that you care

Perfect stranger, come into my life
Show me where your heart lies so deep within the night
Perfect stranger, do not hesitate
Introduce yourself to me, please don’t make me wait

For I’ve been striving against my desperation, praying against the wind
Hoping against my only hope I’d find you in the end
The stage is set, the way is clear, the lines are being drawn
The cycle comes full circle; it goes on and on and on

Perfect stranger, come into my life
Show me where your heart lies so deep within the night
Perfect stranger, do not hesitate
Introduce yourself to me, please don’t make me wait
