Stranger In Paradise 1953 'Kismet'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 03 Jul 2002

Take my hand,
I'm a stranger in paradise,
all lost in a wonderland,
a stranger in paradise.
If I stand starryeyed,
that's a danger in paradise
for mortals who stand beside
an angel like you.
I saw your face and I ascended
out of the commonplace into the rare!
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
until I know
there's a chance that you care;
won't you answer the fervent prayer
of a stranger in paradise?
Don't send me in dark despair
from all that I hunger for,
but open your angel's arms
to the stranger in paradise
and tell him that he need be
a stranger no more.
