Stranger On the Shore - Andy Williams

Music by Mr. Acker Bilk

Words by Robert Mellin

Peaked at # 73 in 1962

This is a vocal cover of the instrumental by Mr. Acker Bilk's #1 two months earlier.

Andy Williams also covered it at the same time to # 38.

It was used as the title tune of a British TV show.

Here I stand, watching the tide go out

So all alone and blue

Just dreaming dreams of you

I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea

Taking all my dreams

And taking all of me

The sighing of the waves

The wailing of the wind

The tears in my eyes burn

Pleading, "My love, return"

Why, oh, why must I go on like this?

Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?

The sighing of the waves

The wailing of the wind

The tears in my eyes burn

Pleading, "My love, return"

Why, oh, why must I go on like this?

Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?
