RUDOLPH VALENTINO : IMAGES / Stranger in Paradise

song STRANGER IN PARADISE from the musical KISMET vocal by Albert Diner music by Alexander Borodin ( 1890 ) lyrics by Robert Wright and George Forrest Lyrics Oh why do the leaves of the mulberry tree whisper differently now? And why is the nightingale singing at noon on the mulberry bough? For some most mysterious reason this isn’t the garden I know… No, it’s paradise now that was only a garden a moment ago Take my hand I'm a stranger in paradise All lost in a wonderland a stranger in paradise If I stand starry-eyed that's a danger in paradise For mortals who stand beside an angel like you I saw your face and I ascended Out of the commonplace into the rare Somewhere in space I hang suspended Until I know there's a chance that you'll care Won't you answer the fervent prayer Of a stranger in paradise Don't send me in dark despair from all that I hunger for But open your angel's arms to the stranger in paradise And tell him that he need be a stranger no more. ..... And tell me that I need be a stranger no more Polovtsian Dances" Fly away on the wings of the wind" (Улетай на крыльях ветра) by Alexander Borodin.
