Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - A Stranger in My Place Lyrics

Songwriter: Kenny Rogers Kin Vassy

Producer: Jimmy Bowen Kenny Rogers Mike Post

I see the town where we were born
I see the place we were raised
I see all the things you wanted
That I never gave

I see sadness, I see sorrow
I see pain in your face
But I just can't see
A stranger in my place

I can see now where we quarrelled
I can see now I was wrong
I can see where you might weaken
When I wasn't strong

I see mem'ries of a love gone bad
That time cannot erase
But I just can't see
A stranger in my place

No one seems to know you quite like I do
No one knows the thigs that make you cry
Looking back it seems I never showed you
And now I lay alone and wonder why

I can see now where you might grow tired
Of dreams that don't come true
I can see where I have fallen short
Of the things I promised you

I can see now through my tear filled eyes
No love on your face
I must get used to seein'
Strangers in my place...
