|
Written for Elvis Presley by Winfield Scott.
Recorded by Elvis in June, 1970 and released in November, 1970 as the 4th track, side two of the album "That's The Way It Is". I've been standing on the corner Since a quarter after seven I was down to my last cigarette And the clock in the window At a quarter to eleven I was watching all the people Passing by me, going places Just the loneliest guy in the town Looking for a friendly smile But all that I could see were faces And then, just like the taste of milk and honey I found the stranger I've been looking for The way my cup of love was overflowing I knew the stranger in the crowd and I Would be strangers no more Love that found us on the corner At a quarter to eleven I thought you were to good to be true All my life I had believed That angels only live in Heaven But now, we share the taste of milk and honey Each day is sweeter than the day before My cup of love is overflowing Because the stranger in the crowd and I Would be stranger no more Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing I found the stranger I've been looking for The way my cup of love was overflowing I knew the stranger in the crowd and I Would be stranger no more |
