Lyrics
- Look who’s here
Oh, where did you ever come from?
Never saw the likes of you here before
I can see they’re sweeter down where you come from
I can see I’ve got to see you more
Chorus
Sweet stranger, sweet of you to come my way
Tell me have you come to stay, sweet stranger?
There’s danger ev’ry time I meet your glance
Danger of a big romance, sweet stranger
You’re a brand new brand of honey
From a brand new honeycomb
You could make life sweet and sunny
Won’t you step right in and make yourself at home?
Sweet stranger, let me introduce you to
Someone who’ll be sweet to you, sweet stranger
- Need I say how happy I am to see you?
Can’t you see the welcome that’s in my smile?
You’re so sweet, who wouldn’t be glad to see you
Won’t you say you’re gonna stay awhile?
