Sweet Stranger

(Ned Weaver / Milton Ager / Jerry Livingston)

Al Bowlly and his Orchestra directed by Leonard Joy


Sweet stranger
Sweet of you to come my way
Tell me you have come to stay
Sweet stranger

There's danger
Every time you meet your glance
Danger of a big romance
Sweet stranger

You're a brand new brand of honey
From a brand new honeycomb
You could make life sweet and sunny
Won't you step right up and make yourself at home

Sweet stranger
Let me introduce you to
Someone who will be sweet to you
Sweet stranger

Sweet of you to come my way
Tell me you have come to stay

There's danger
Every time I meet your glance
Danger of a big romance
Sweet stranger

You're a brand new brand of honey
From a brand new honeycomb
You could make life sweet and sunny
Won't you step right up and make yourself at home

Sweet stranger
Let me introduce you to
Someone who will be sweet to you
