As I wake up each new morning and open up my eyes
I see there’s someone next to me I barely recognize
I’m sleeping with the enemy but that’s not such a crime
The worst thing is the enemy is nothing more than time
She has the eyes of a stranger and a face I no longer know
A heart that is as icy as a deep mid-winter snow
So I tell myself each summer that I will leave her in the Fall
But a stranger’s eyes are better than nobody’s eyes at all
Chorus
I no longer send her flowers and she never sings my song
It makes it hard for me to feel I really do belong
I know that once she did love me but that was long ago
And there’s no truth in clichés that say love will always grow
So I face each brand new morning with no sense of surprise
I try to block out all the pain, the heartache and the lies
I know that I should try to leave and find out who I am
But, tell the truth, I can’t pretend to really give a damn
Chorus
I no longer send her flowers and she never sings my song
It makes it hard for me to feel I really do belong
I know that once she did love me but that was long ago
And there’s no truth in clinches that say love will always grow
Instrumental
She has the eyes of a stranger and a face I no longer know
A heart that is as icy as a deep mid-winter snow
So I tell myself each summer that I will leave her in the Fall
But a stranger’s eyes are better than nobody’s eyes at all
Yes, the eyes of a stranger
Are better than nobody`s eyes at all
