Stranger to Stranger Lyrics

Stranger to stranger
If we met for the first time, this time
Could you imagine us falling in love again?

Words and melodies
So the old story goes
Fall from summer trees when the wind blows

I can't wait to see you walk across my doorway
I cannot be held accountable for the things I do or say
I'm just jittery, I'm just jittery
It's just a way of dealing with my joy

It's just a way of dealing with my joy
It's just a way of dealing with my joy
It's just a way of dealing

Words and melodies
Easy harmonies
Old time melodies

All in good time
Although most of the time it's just hard working
The same piece of clay, day after day
Year after year

Certain melodies tear your heart apart
Reconstruction is a lonesome art

But I love to watch you walk across my doorway
I cannot be held accountable for the things I do or say
I'm just jittery, I'm just jittery
It's just a way of dealing with my joy

It's just a way of dealing with my joy
It's just a way of dealing with my joy

Words and melody

Stranger to stranger
If we met for the first time, this time
Could you imagine us falling in love again?

Still believing that love endures
All the carnage and the useless detours

Oh I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, love you, love you

Words and melody
Easy harmony
Words and melody

Cover art for Stranger to Stranger lyrics by Paul Simon

IMO Paul Simon is doing here a hugh job. This is a very personal Paul Simon song like he also did towards his former wifes he loved.

I am recalling Carrie Fisher: about this relationship Paul Simon widmed several songs. The most important songs are "Hearts and Bones" and "Graceland'.

Paul Simon married three times. The last time he married with the female musican Edie Brickel who is coming from Dallas TX USA. He is still married with her and together they have three children.

I guess this song is a little bit a hard to understand song for younger people than I am being on an age of 67 years old.

When you`ve reached this age you have a different look about what love is than when you are/were in your teens; twenties and thirties and so on.

Today this one is really one of my all favorites songs. Reason: the open-mind declaration of LOVE to his wife Edie Brickell. I did not hear any artist doing so in this way.

Explaining your love (again) and how difficult it - sometimes is - working on your marriage and/or other kind of adult relationships for maintaining it.

This song is such a vulnerable song when you see Paul Simon performing this song on stage. Paul Simon knows and understands what love is to be.

Fortunately. Kind regards from the Netherlands Europe

I am not an #American: just 'a woman'.
