Stranger on the Shore of Love lyrics

The curtain goes up

The first act begins

The scene is two people in love

Lovely is she, lucky feels he

She smiles in his eyes

He smiles in her eyes

They both vow love never to part

One sight for all, lovers to see

A perfect love story begins

'til insecurity sets in

What happens then is, one aching heart

Oh, I don't wanna be

No stranger on the shore of love with tears

And a broken heart

I can tell you that I don't wanna be

No stranger on the shore of love with tears

And a broken heart

A table for two

Love vows of "I do"

A honeymoon out of a dream

Who could ask for, anything more

A home on a hill

With love daffodils

And cold winter nights by the fire

What more could be, for she and he

There's more than enough love and yet

She or he starts feeling regret

What do you get, one broken heart

Oh, I don't wanna be

No stranger on the shore of love with tears

And a broken heart

I can tell you from experience I don't wanna be

No stranger on the shore of love with tears

And a broken heart

I don't wanna be

No stranger on the shore of love with tears

And a-a-a-oh, oh, oh

Oh, I don't wanna be, please don't let me be

No stranger on the shore of love with tears

And a broken heart, na, na, na, na, na

I don't wanna be no, don't let me be no

No, no, no with tears

I don't wanna have an upset stomach from a broken heart, baby

I don't wanna be

No stranger on the shore of love with tears

And a broken heart
