You never asked for much, but I loved you just the same
You with your quiet eyes and a face without a name
You stood there staring as I sang another song
We were strangers then, we weren't strangers long
It was all that I could do not to turn away and hide
You stared right through me as you stood there at my side
The things I read in those blue eyes, they seemed so calm and strong
We were strangers then, we weren't strangers long
Now we weren't strangers long, though we never spoke at all
But in your eyes I saw you knew we were heading for a fall
I love you so completely, I never thought it might be wrong
We were strangers then, but we weren't strangers long
We weren't strangers long, though we never spoke at all
In your eyes I saw you knew we were heading for a fall
I knew you so completely, I never thought it might be wrong
We were strangers then, but we weren't strangers long
Just like a book when it's read between the lines
It's the words that weren't spoken that told me you were mine
And now the pages turn, but the story still goes on
We were strangers then, we weren't strangers long
