Perfect Strangers
Sitting at the hotel bar sipping on some courage
Trying to calm his restless nerves with 20-year-old bourbon
He holds her picture in his hand wondering what she'll say
It’s nearly 7:45 she's meeting him at 8:00
Perfect strangers both with so much on the line
Neither sure just how to see things through
Now there’s a danger of pain and heartache down the line
When perfect strangers choose to rendezvous
He shyly looks around the room it only took an instant
Once she caught his eye he knew life would soon be different
More beautiful than he had dreamed a smile beyond compare
The scent of jasmine on her neck a flower in her hair
CHORUS
They head for the dining room to a table he’d reserved
She takes his hand and fumbles through the speech she’d rehearsed
Says I’m sorry son – I never meant for us to be
Perfect strangers both with so much on the line
Neither sure just how to see things through
She risked the danger praying somewhere down the line
Two perfect strangers choose to rendezvous
