It was just another night Some lonely people fight for And believe that they might finally find a friend And you're holding on so tight But just can't stop believing That the darkness never ever's gonna end Just like a child out on your own I could love you tonight But tomorrow, we'll both still be alone So far from home... And you talk about your day The places and the people That I never never never never knew And me I can't believe All the things I'm telling you About the dreams that never quite came true Just take hold of my hand Do you feel like I do Do we both understand that... Girl, we're not strangers anymore Girl, we're not strangers anymore And I could love you tonight You might hold me till then Till we both forget just what we came here for We're not strangers anymore... Ooh baby Don't you get the feeling This might be the only night we ever pass this way Let's take everything Tonight is dealing We don't need no reasons if we really want to stay Just take hold of my hand Do you feel like I do Do we both understand that... Girl, we're not strangers anymore Girl, we're not strangers anymore And I could love you tonight You might hold me till then Till we both forget just what we came here for We're not strangers anymore Girl, we're not strangers anymore Girl, we're not strangers anymore Girl, we're not strangers anymore

Bob: "Bells from hell, more clanging and chiming than any previous project. Kevin's vocal harmony in the chorus almost put him in the hospital. I really like the bridge on this one." ...
