(Scott)

Information:
Winfield Scott wrote Stranger in the Crowd for
Elvis, who recorded it on June 5, 1970, at RCA's Nashville studios. In the
documentary Elvis - That's the Way It Is, Elvis was seen rehearsing
Stranger in the Crowd at MGM's Culver City studios.
Lyrics:
I'd been standing on the corner since a quarter after seven
I was down to my last cigarette and the clock in
the window had 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'd 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 had found us on the corner at a quarter to
eleven
I thought you were too 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 was overflowing because the
stranger in the crowd and I would be strangers no more
Deep inside, my cup of love
was overflowing
I found the stranger I'd been looking for
Though away, my cup of love
is overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd and I would be strangers no
more
