Lyrics Shirley Bassey

Shirley Bassey

Perfect Strangers

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 seperate 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 whispering in our whiskey

Come and sit beside me for a while

You know I love to see you smile

And if perhaps you're only passing through

At least we tried to reach an understanding

And for just one moment we were

Perfect strangers singing perfectly in tune

From seperate corners of the room

Held together by our hunger to get by

Perfect strangers you and I

Perfect strangers singing perfectly in tune

From seperate corners of the room

Held together by our hunger to get by

Perfect strangers you and I
