STRANGE ARE THE WAYS OF LOVE
(Sammy Fain (m) / Paul Francis Webster (l) 1973)
Debra Paget 1973
Strange are the ways of love
It brings to your heart
Many dreams that would never start
Except for the strange ways of love.
You never quite know
The day or the place
But suddenly there you are
You’re face to face.
And you speak, without words
Too afraid to embrace your love.
I can’t quite recall
The day or the place
But suddenly there we were
Face to face.
And our eyes spoke the words
Unafraid we embraced
Our love, gone as time, gone with space
Strange are the ways of love.
Strange are the ways of love...
Strange are the ways of love. (fade)
