Love is a beautiful stranger Who passes by my window And who may stop awhile With a kiss and a smile To caress me Love is a beautiful stranger Who stares across my threshold With abandon and grace And a tender embrace To possess me, possess me One dazzling hour of desire and of rapture Fulfilling my dreams of romance Now just an hour to remember the ember Of passion which still glows by chance Love is a beautiful stranger Who once passed by my window With a kiss and a smile to caress me With a tender embrace to possess me And then said goodbye
