Lyrics of
Strangers in the night

Strangers in the Night was composed by Bert Kaempfert with lyrics by Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyder. Iconically performed by Frank Sinatra, it was recorded on April 11, 1966. The song gave Sinatra one of his biggest hits. The story behind its creation involves it being originally instrumental, titled Beddy Bye - part of the soundtrack for the movie A Man Could Get Killed. The addition of lyrics came later, turning it into a classic.

Strangers in the night exchanging glances, wondering in the night what were the chances
We'd be sharing love before the night was through?
Something in your eyes was so inviting, something in your smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you
Strangers in the night, two lonely people, we were strangers in the night up to the moment
When we said our first hello, little did we know, love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

And ever since that night we've been together, lovers at first sight in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night
 Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

Ever since that night we've been together, lovers at first sight in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night
Do dee do be doo do do do dee da, da da da da di yi ya
