Analysis of STRANGER TO THE EYES



She’s a stranger to my eyes,
A lover, to my ears;
A woman of disguise,
The lady I could only hear

She can turn darkness into light
She can get truths out of my every lies
She cheers me up when I am low
She brings music to my lifeless soul

She whispers words that I loved to hear
She says many things and she calls me "dear"
She always stops by just to say HI!
I don’t really understand her, but I promise to try

She’s the woman of mystery,
the stranger to the eye
the one I love
For whom I could die
