A Stranger In Paradise:The Four Aces.
Top of the Pop Charts in 1954.
(Capo 5th fret.)
#1.
Take my hand..I m a stranger in paradise.
All lost in a wonderland..a stranger in paradise.
If I stand starry-eyed..that s the danger in paradise..
for mortals who stand beside, an angel like you.
CHORUS:
I saw your face and I ascended..
out of the commonplace, into the rare.
Somewhere in space, I hang suspended..
until I know, there s a chance that you care.
#2.
Won t you answer this fervent prayer..
of a stranger in paradise?
Don t send me in dark despair, from all that I hunger for.
But open your Angel s arms, to this stranger in paradise.
And tell him that, he need be, a stranger no more.
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
