baby, they're all [Fm] I have
[Ab]
[Bb]
[Cm] Suddenly a stranger entered my [Ab] life, I got pictures of her to be
[A] Started my [D] emotion whirling [Ab] freely,
[Cm] oh just like the waters
[Bb] in the sea
[Eb] She looked at me with a smile [Dm] so sincere, my heart started to [Em]
sing
In a voice [G] I'm sure she could [Cm] hear, I reached out for a tender loving kiss
[Eb]
Only to find [F] my love didn't [Bb] even exist, oh baby
[Fm]

I then [Cm]
realized it was just a dream, the candle lights burning, such a radiant beam
[A]
Oh how I yearn for [Ab] this dream to come true, [Eb] for just one exciting moment with [Bb]
someone like you
But [Eb] as I sat there with [Dm]
tears falling from my eyes, I seemed to dream [C] a thousand [Em] and one [Eb] sighs
Yeah, [Gm] a couple's passing by with a slow but happy [Bb] pace
And all there was for [F] me was a [Bb] bitterly tears, oh baby

magical key
Oh baby,
[Fm] stranger in my life, [Bb]
she's so fine, [Fm]
stranger in my [Ab] life

life, [Bb]
surely she's fine
