Who Was That Stranger
Midnight Secrets: A Stranger's Tale in Loretta Lynn's Melody
Lyrics
He rode in with the sunset and turned the TV on
He arrived at dusk and started watching TV
We didn't talk through supper and I went to bed alone
We didn't communicate during dinner, and I went to bed alone
I was softly awakened by a touch of ecstasy
I was gently awakened by a pleasurable sensation
Was I only dreamin' or did he make sweet love to me
Wondering if the intimate encounter was real or just a dream
Who was that stranger that rode through here last night?
Questioning the identity of the person who visited the previous night
He slipped into our room when I turned out the light
He entered the room unnoticed after I turned off the light
Who was that stranger with my ring on his hand?
Identifying a stranger wearing my ring
Whoever he was I hope he'll ride this way again
Expressing a desire for the stranger to return
This morning over coffee, that look was in his eyes
Noticing a certain look in his eyes during morning coffee
His touch was so familiar when he kissed me goodbye
His touch felt familiar when he kissed me goodbye
I watched him through the window and as he rode away
Observing him leaving through the window
He left me with a memory that I dream about all day, yeah
Left with a lingering memory that occupies her thoughts
Who was that stranger that rode through here last night?
Repeating the question about the stranger's identity
He slipped into our room when I turned out the light
He entered the room again after turning off the light
Who was that stranger with my ring on his hand?
Confirming the presence of a stranger wearing her ring
Whoever he was I hope he'll ride this way again
Expressing the hope for the stranger's return
I know that stranger that rode through here last night
Claiming recognition of the stranger from the previous night
I bet you a dollar he'll be back home tonight
Predicting the stranger's return home tonight
