Love With The Proper Stranger - Neil Diamond

I could fall in love with the proper stranger

If I heard the bells and the banjos ring

If two certain eyes with the look of danger

Smiled a welcome warm as spring

If the beating in my heart

Sounded out a warning

Don’t let her

Don’t let her walk through the door

This is the one you’ve been waiting for

Oh, yes, I’d know

However wild it seems

You know I’d know

And I’d whisper

Come take my hand, proper stranger

Don’t go through life as a stranger

For I’m a poor proper stranger, too

Don’t let her

Don’t let her walk through the door

This is the one you’ve been waiting for

Oh, yes, I’d know

However wild it seems

You know I’d know

And I’d whisper

Come take my hand, proper stranger

Don’t go through life as a stranger

For I’m a poor proper stranger, too
