The Stranger

Melissa Ferrick

waiting wanting


to see you in my eyes


finding feelings


that I thought were buried inside





because I never though that I


could ever love like this


but you have


proven me wrong





you the stranger who took a chance


held me at a distance so I could see myself


so thank you for everything you gave without knowing


and thank you for letting me fall in love


without withholding


without withholding





so let me in now


I am ready to move


and here comes fear and resistance from you


and for once I am willing and now what i've got to wait?





these lessons are everywhere in my life


you know I never waited for anyone and I was always right


but ya now I give up I surrender


I would wait for you...forever





you the stranger who took a chance


held me at a distance so I could see myself


so thank you for everything you gave without knowing


and thank you for letting me fall in love with you


without withholding


without withholding





so come on and test me


go on and try it


because I know that I fit perfectly inside you


and to deny this love would be to deny your heart


and you're going be the one who breaks it


baby if you choose to walk





you the stranger who took a chance


held me at a distance so I could see myself


so thank you for everything you gave without knowing


and thank you for letting me fall in love


you the stranger who took a chance


held me at a distance so I could see myself


so thank you for everything you gave without knowing


and thank you for letting me fall in love


without withholding


without withholding
