Strange 1934

There's mysteries in life,
it's true,
that baffle folk like me and you
A lightning flashing sky,
and thunder rolling by
but one big mystery
will always baffle me.

Strange
how those words "I love you"
bring a thrill,
and those magic words
that say "I will"
Lifts you to the skies above
drops you like a worn out glove
something in this thing called love
that's strange;
so strange,
ev'ryone has that romantic streak,
true love is the thing we all seek,
when it's by your side you play
with new loves and let it stray,
cry when it has gone away
it's strange.
Love may be sweet
but when two hearts meet,
they're wedded to joy and sorrow,
Some are born to find real love
while others must seek it
some of us beg it, steal it,
borrow,
strange
how you try to win somebody's heart,
When it's yours to tear it right apart,
Think you've found a love to stay
King of all that you survey
someone steals that love away,
it's strange, so strange, so strange.

Strange
how those words "I love you"
bring a thrill,
and those magic words
that say "I will"
Lifts you to the skies above

ev'ryone has that romantic streak,

it's strange.
