DAYLIGHT STRANGER

Gary Puckett & the Union Gap



(Ah ah ah)



If we meet by chance today, pretend that you don't see me

I love you, but if she knew I know she'd never free me

Long as I am tied to her we care not for the danger

So be discreet & meet me later, daylight stranger



She believes that I go out on real important business

She's so right 'cause every night I taste your tender kisses

That's what happens when a home is filled with pain & anger

So be discreet & meet me later, daylight stranger



For a while just be my lover

With the darkness as our cover

So that she may not discover you



(Ah ah ah, ah ah ah)



Soon enough she'll realize that we were both mistaken

Walk & talk 'cause in my hand, one day I'll soon awaken

Turn the sunlight in your eyes without the thrill of danger

So be discreet & meet me later, daylight stranger



(backing, repeat & fade):

Meet me later, daylight stranger
