Stranger In My Place

Kenny Rogers


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 on your face 
But I just can't see a stranger in my place. 

I can see now where we quarreled 
I can see how I was wrong 
I can see where you might weaken but I wasn't strong 
I see mem'ries of a love gone bad that time can't erase 
But I just can't see a stranger in my place. 

No one seems to know you quite like I do 
And no one knows the things that make you cry like I do 
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' a stranger in my place. 

I must get used to seein' a stranger in my place...
