🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Love was just a glance away
  • A warm embracing dance away, and
  • Ever since that night we've been together
  • Lovers at first sight, in love forever

Sing the opening verse

  • Strangers in the night exchanging glances
  • Wondering in the night
  • What were the chances we'd be sharing love
  • Before the night was through
nightstrangerssomething
