The Best of Strangers Now by Eddie Kendricks Lyrics

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus x2]
Oh baby, the only shame is
Long time bring have rearranged us
And you and I are the best of strangers now
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
