(with Evelyn C Shapiro)



Its 5 in the mornin’

And I’ve been waiting up all night

Left with no warning

And baby you know that ain’t right



Don’t be a stranger

We’ve been together much too long

Don’t be a stranger

Come on back where you belong



Its 5 in the morning



Have you found another

Is that the reason I’m alone

Have you found a lover

Is that the reason you’re not home



Don’t be a stranger

We’ve been together much too long

Don’t be a stranger

Come on back where you belong



Have you found another



Until I hear you say you don’t want me

I’ll never be the one to set you free



I sit and I wonder

Have we lost the love we’ve known for years

It’s pullin’ me under

To think I’ll drown in all of tears



Don’t be a stranger

We’ve been together much too long

Don’t be a stranger

Come on back where you belong



6 in the mornin’

You left with no warnin’

I sit and I wonder;

Don’t be a stranger

Don’t be a stranger

8 in the mornin’

Don’t be a stranger

Don’t be a stranger

Don’t be a stranger

Don’t be a stranger

Don’t be a stranger
