“Passing Strangers” was first recorded in 1957 as a duet with Billy Eckstine and Sarah Vaughan. The song was popular in the US, but fared much better in the UK.
We seem like passing strangers now
How can you hurry by?
There were never two who loved
Half as much as you and I
We seem like passing strangers now
Funny, how things can change
We were so inseparable
Now you’re acting very strange
The hands I used to touch
Don’t even wave hello
How I miss your lips
You’ll never know
If you would only turn to me
Speak my name just once more
You might find right there and then
Strangers can be lovers again
The hands I used to touch
Don’t even wave hello
How I miss your lips
You’ll never know
If you would only turn to me
Speak my name just once more
You might find right there and then
Strangers can be lovers again
