We can be
strangers
in our lives
Only once
And once we have met
And known each other
And become friends
Then we can't be strangers
Just like that
By any degree of pretence
choice
Or circumstance
And definitely not after
We fell in love
No no no
It's just not done
We can be strangers
In our lives
Only once
What I am to you
And you are to me
No one can answer
But you and me
Our lives have changed
A lot of water has flown
sinCe we have last known
Now we come from different places
And there's no plaCe for one another
In our respective spaces
Not heard from you for so long
Never listened to your voice
Once I had promised to
Follow you till world ends
Now, I go in a slumber
When your name comes up
While talking to common friends
But the fact remains
We are not strangers
We are far
Very far
What affects you affects me
Whatever happens to the moon
Can it affect in any way, the earth?
Who knows, maybe it doesn't
But maybe it does
We can be
strangers
in our lives
Only once
And once we have met
And known each other
And become friends
Then we can't be strangers
Just like that
By any degree of pretence
choice
Or circumstance
And definitely not after
We fell in love
No no no
It's just not done
We can be strangers
In our lives
Only once
Our lips may not have kissed
But our souls did mingle
When my eyes rest on you
I can feel that shy tingle
I don't know if this is a fleeting feeling
Or one that can test of times endure
But one thing I am sure
However hard we try
We cannot go back
To being strangers
What is ours is ours
What we shared between us
will remain with us
And those moments of love
Understanding and pain
Will at will make our eyes go rain
Am I going to utter your name
Are you ever going to beckon me
Hope not, hope not
For what we have held back
Shall not be let loose again
To confront one another with all our past
Is the greatest of our fears
And will end in only so much more tears
I can't hold you in my arms oh baby
But I have buried you deep in my heart
And so you shall be
And so we shall be
