  			              C 
    I've been standing on a corner 
            Dm 
    Since a quarter after seven 
          G 
    I was down to my last cigarette 
            C 
    And the clock in the window 
         Dm         G 
    At a quarter to eleven 
 
 
          C 
    I was watching all the people 
            Dm 
    Passing by me going places 
             G 
    Just the loneliest guy in the town 
            C              Am 
    Looking for a friendly smile 
            Dm                    G 
    But all that I could see were faces 
 
 
        C                                     G 
    And then, just like the taste of milk and honey 
      G                                    C 
    I found the stranger I've been looking for 
           C                            G 
    Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing 
      G 
    I knew the stranger in the crowd 
                               C 
    And I would be stranger no more 
 
 
        C 
    The love that comes on the corner 
         Dm 
    At a quarter to eleven 
              G 
    I thought you were to good to be true 
           C 
    All my life I had believed 
                Dm           G 
    That angels only live in heaven 
        C                                   G 
    But now, we share the taste of milk and honey 
         G                           C 
    Each day is sweeter than the day before 
 
 
       C              G 
    My cup runned overflowing 
                G 
    because the stranger in the crowd 
                               C 
    And I would be stranger no more 
 
 
    Solo:  C   Dm   G    C 
 
 
         C                              G 
    Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing 
      G                                    C 
    I found the stranger I've been looking for 
           C                            G 
    Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing 
               G 
    I knew the stranger in the crowd 
                               C 
    And I would be stranger no more 
               G 
    I knew the stranger in the crowd 
                               C 
    And I would be stranger no more
