We're Strangers Again

Randy Travis · I Told You So - The Ultimate Hits Of Randy Travis (2 CD) [2009]

Randy Travis & Tammy Wynette

First we were strangers down on our luck

And both in need of a friend

We promised each other

To much to live up to

And now we're strangers again

(Tammy)

I came like a stranger

And you took me in

And I felt at home in your arms

We had nothing but good times

As long as the sun shines

But we just couldn't weather the storms

(Randy)

You came like a stranger

And I took you in

And you gave me some reasons

To live

I gave the good times

And you gave the sunshine

Till we ran out of good things to give

Now we are strangers back down on our luck

And both in need of a friend

We promised each other

To much to live up to

And now we're strangers again

Strangers again...
