Stranger on the Shore:Andy Williams. (Acker Bilk did this one first as an instrumental and hit #1 in '62. Williams did the lyrical version and Got to # 38 the same year). #1. Here I stand... watching the tide go out. So all alone and blue, just dreaming dreams of you. #2. I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea, taking all my dreams, and taking all of me. #3. The sighing of waves, the wailing of the wind, the tears in my eyes burn.. Pleading, "My love, re....turn." CHORUS: Why, oh, why must I go on like this? Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore? REPEAT #3. CHORUS: A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
