Stranger in My Place

Skeeter Davis · Skeeter Skeeter Skeeter (RCA Victor) [1971]

(Kenny Rogers - Kin Vassy)



I just can't see a stranger in my place.



I see the town where we were born I see the place we were raised

I see all the things you wanted that I never gave

I see sadness I see sorrow I see pain on your face

But I just can't see a stranger in my place.



I can see now where we quarreled I can see now I was wrong

I can see how you might weaken when I wasn't strong

I see mem'ries of a love gone bad that time cannot erase

But I just can't see a stranger in my place.



No one seems to know me quite like you do

No one knows the things that make me cry

Now looking back it seems I never showed you

And now I lay alone and wonder why.



I can see now where you might grow tired of dreams that don't come true

I can see where I have fallen short of the things I promised you

I can see now through my tear filled eyes no love on your face

But I just can't see a stranger in my place.



I just can't see a stranger in my place...
