you and i are the best of strangers now oh baby the only shame is long time bring many changes and you and i are the best of strangers now i remember clearly still sunday afternoon when we were kids i dared you to swim that muddy stream and you know something you did and you did it just for me and from that day i knew we d always be together through the rain and snow i know you felt the same you told me so you d love me till the twilight of our days oh baby the only shame is long time bring have rearranged us and you and i are the best of strangers now i can hear the church bell still people called us young and foolish kids i had a feeling it would rain and you know something it did we were cold and all so through and we sheltered in that small cafe we talked away the hours all through the day i know i even prayed the rain might stay to keep you right beside me till i die
