You never asked for much
But I loved you just the same
You, with your quiet eyes
And a face without a name

You stood there staring
As I sang another song
We were strangers then
We weren't strangers long

It was all that I could do
Not to turn away and hide
You stared right through me
As you stood there at my side

The things I read in those blue eyes
They seemed so calm and strong
We were strangers then
We weren't strangers long

Now, we weren't strangers long
Though we never spoke at all
But in your eyes, I saw you knew
We were heading for a fall

I love you so completely
I never thought it might be wrong
We were strangers then
But we weren't strangers long

We weren't strangers long
Though we never spoke at all
In your eyes, I saw you knew
We were heading for a fall

I knew you so completely
I never thought it might be wrong
We were strangers then
But we weren't strangers long

Just like a book
When it's read between the lines
It's the words that weren't spoken
That told me you were mine

And now, the pages turn
But the story still goes on
We were strangers then
We weren't strangers long
