Strangers
Leona Lewis | www.Marvin-Vibez.in Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Strangers in the night
Exchanging glances
Wandering the night
What were the chances
We'd be sharing love
Before the night was through?

Something in your eyes

Was so inviting
Something in your smile
Was so exciting
Something in my heart
Told me I must have you

Strangers in the night
Two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away

Ever since that night
We've been together
Lovers at first sight
In love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night

Ahh, ahh
Yeah, yeah
Ooh-la-da-da-da-da
Shoo-bee-doo, shoo-bee-doo
Shoo-bee-doo-doo, doo-bee-da
Shoo-bee, sha-ba-da-ya
Ha, shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo
Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo

Ha, strangers in the night
Two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
Well, a warm embracing dance away

Ever since that night
We've been together
Lovers at first sight
In love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night

Ha, it turned out so right
For strangers in, in the night, ha

We were strangers
Couple of strangers
Two lonely people
Ha, and we were lovers
Groovin' lovers
Couple of strangers
Ha, loving strangers (hey Marvin)
Yeah

(Unforgettable, unforgettable)

In reference to making decisions on type of music and most recording aspects, Leona does not need all those people around her; she is capable of doing better; forget people like Simon, and other singers.

I heard this song today the first time (on the radio) and just can say I love it although I don't like Leona Lewis sooo much.

@DelightFoolVlog I'm from Germany and it was on Energy (Rhein-Main) ( it was a very new radio station). Since today I heard it only once but i don't listen to the radio that much. If you're still interested I can send you the link of the radio station.

To tburke644: Oh yes, Leona is awesome; well, beyond awesome... =) I am sure she has the disposition to learn from everybody; and yes, she is very observant, and by writing observant I am not referring exclusively to her eyes, I am referring to all her senses. She learns and thinks exponentially (most people live a linear life or arithmetical life) I don't know her personally, but I can tell more or less. Look for her to effectively and efficiently pair her music with parallel dynamic images

Continuing my reply to tburke644: It is like she will pair visual dimensions to the her musical pieces; more or less like a great music composer pairs her/his lyrics to the music, to the point of inciting the general desired feeling in the audience. Of course, each listener responds differently, but all are linked in one way or another; but that is another chapter from the same book. =)

omg... why was this not on Echo?!!

@DelightFoolVlog

12y

@Musicgirl761 you heard this on the radio!?!? if you don't mind could you tell me what country you are from and if you could recall which radio station it was?

@jjojjorge

Was this piece omitted from the CD because it leaked?

@jjojjorge

14y

One clarification to tburke644, The term parallel, I used it as a verb, not as an adjective. That was awful writing from me. Sorry.

@jjojjorge

Yeah, with this song in, Echo would be doing better. Like I earlier stated, drop Simon Leona; drop other so-called collaborators. Leona is sufficiently capable for doing a project unimaginable to said so-called collaborators. See, what's happening is that, Leona herself is still discovering herself, once she does, look out, she is going to make her debut CD look like lower rate.

@khoukhoun I know. She has got a great voice but her music (⅔) isn't what I like to listen to. I love bands like Simple Plan, Shinedown, Linkin Park etc. I'm sorry but it's just not my style of music. Of course she has really good songs I somtimes listen to but actually I prefer other singers/ bands.
