Starry Eyed Stranger

His troubles were more than a few Perhaps he had more than was due To all of this he had that too Oh what was this poor boy to do Appeared this stranger by his side His face aglow all starry eyed Who promised him a place to hide Just follow me outside he cried Her world was one of grief and woe Without a soul she didn’t owe Amid her days there was no glow Oh where was this poor girl to go Appeared this stranger starry eyed A world of promise waits outside Just follow me awhile he cried I’ll show you where your hopes may hide A couple drenched in misery Their anguish was their daily fee Was this the love once meant to be Oh where could this poor couple flee Appeared a glow as stranger cried Why do you mope what do you hide And with his face so starry eyed They gladly went with him outside And there they stood nothing to hide One common strength in Joy they cried Once troubled souls now side by side Gazing ahead all starry eyed Appeared a stranger dream come true Forgotten hope near me and you And when our glow has lost its hue Oh what would this poor stranger do
