Stranger, You And I

Darling, keep your voice low
If you can't recall your lines
Maybe they won't notice that
You're hiding the script under your sleeves

I'm sure we'll be fine
You've got your friends
I've got my makers and all this time

Too late to save this show
Everyone's going home
Too late to make them stay
The critics say that the script is old

Your step away from the stage and the spotlight
I hold my breath as the curtain comes down
We must have misplaced the scene
Where love conquers all

It conquers all and if I could have known
On that winter day that you'd fade away
And only I was to blame

I would have stayed awake
And found a way to make every soul
In the crowd stand and say
"Bitter, sweet and cheap
But the ending makes it strong"
