Love's Lonely Melody: A Stranger's Journey
Lyrics
Maybe she was smilin' in the mirror
Reflecting on a woman, possibly smiling, while looking in the mirror.
Maybe I was too, 'cause I was stoned

Honey, they were hittin' close to home

And I said - Maybe this'll make you think I'm crazy

Honey, don't feel lonesome if you do

But if you wanna make a young man happy one more time

I'd sure like to spend the night with you

And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me

Stranger, could I believe in you

Maybe you got all you got together
