   I walk the floor and I watch the door  
   and when I lie awake and wonder where you can be, 
   I'd give anything to have you here with me. 
   I get so lonesome all alone." 
   She said: "Come in, stranger, and won't you listen to my plea. 
   Stay long enough, so that the one I love, 
   Is not a stranger to me. 
 
 
Enjoy!
