Paradise by Ray Conniff Lyrics

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 a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside
An angel like you

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 you care

Won't you answer the fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise?
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more
