Richard Kiley And Doretta Morrow -
Kismet: A Musical Arabian Night (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Stranger in Paradise
Oh why do the leaves on the mulberry tree whisper differently now?
And why is the nightingale singing at noon on the mulberry bough?
For some most mysterious reason this isn't the garden I know.
No, it's paradise now, that was only a garden a moment ago.
Take my hand,
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise.
If I stand starry-eyed,
That's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside
An angel like you.
I saw your face,
And I ascended
Out of the common place
Into the rare.
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know
There's a chance that you care.
Won't you answer the fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise?
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for.
But open your angel's arms
So the stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more.
I saw your face
And I ascended
Out of the common place
Into the rare
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know
There's a chance that you care
Won't you answer the fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise?
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for.
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell me that I need be
A stranger no more!
And why is the nightingale singing at noon on the mulberry bough?
For some most mysterious reason this isn't the garden I know.
No, it's paradise now, that was only a garden a moment ago.
Take my hand,
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise.
If I stand starry-eyed,
That's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside
An angel like you.
I saw your face,
And I ascended
Out of the common place
Into the rare.
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know
There's a chance that you care.
Won't you answer the fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise?
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for.
But open your angel's arms
So the stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more.
I saw your face
And I ascended
Out of the common place
Into the rare
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know
There's a chance that you care
Won't you answer the fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise?
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for.
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell me that I need be
A stranger no more!
