I've been trying all night long
Just to reach you on the telephone
I've knocked upon your door
I sent my love down the avenue
The mailman dropped it off but you
Don't live there anymore

Sometimes lovers turn to strangers overnight
But I was hoping that somehow I just might
Reach you

Ever since that fateful day
When I moved on and you went your way
I've been gettin' by
But memories still seem to go
Where endless conversations flowed
Like clouds across the sky

Sometimes lovers turn to strangers overnight
But I was hoping that somehow I just might

Refrain:

Reach over for you like I used to do
Just like the way that you'd reach for me too
The man that I am ain't the boy that you knew
Are you still reaching for me
Like I'm reaching for you

It's true that women do move on
With a quiet dignity much stronger
Than that of a man
And men run out but then hold on
When they realize that they were wrong
Not knowing why they ran

Seldom strangers turn to lovers overnight
But I was hoping that somehow I just might….
