I’ve seen you blowing on the wind
Like a kite without a string
Somehow you have slipped your lover’s sight
Beautiful stranger
You know I ain’t askin’ now
For forever, no, no
But just tonight

And I’ve seen you takin’ them cautious steps
On oyster shells
I’ve seen you taking a windy smile
At the dust on the whiskey shelf
Beautiful stranger
I know I can’t keep you
But I sure want you
For myself

Well it may be a problem
I have always had
That I will fall for a man
That I simply cannot have
And you may think
You’re free my dear
But you only run away
I’m gonna find you
On some blue Valentine’s Day

And I’ve seen you blowing down the street
Taking glances carefully
Your style is slick, windy smile
Slidin by

Well Beautiful Stranger
You know I ain’t askin’ now
For forever, no, no
But just tonight
Beautiful stranger
I know I can’t keep you
But I sure want you
For myself

And I’ve seen you takin’ them cautious steps
On oyster shells
I’ve seen you taking a windy smile
At the dust on the whiskey shelf

Well it may be a problem
I have always had
That I will fall for a man
That I simply cannot have
And you may think
You’re free my dear
But you only run away
I’m gonna find you
On some blue Valentine’s Day

I’ve seen you blowing on the wind
Like a kite without a string
Somehow you have slipped your lover’s sight
Beautiful stranger
You know I ain’t askin’ now
For forever, no, no
But just tonight
