I want the lyrics for "Dance With A Stranger" - can you help?

Question

This song was a popular song from the late '50s/early '60s and has been sung by Peggy Lee amongst others. Mari Wilson sang it in the movie "Dance With A Stranger" (as did the actress Miranda Richardson). I have hunted under Mari Wilson and Peggy Lee to no avail.

The lyrics go (that I can remember) Would you dance with a stranger on a night made for love? ..... Let the romance begin.........

Thanks in anticipation :) Please only answer this question if you can add something to my knowledge on this song - ta! Don't pass on links unless you check them, double ta!

Answer 1

(Mark S. Cawley)



On a warm summer evening

I'm dancing to the radio alone

Don't need no conversation

Just want a new love to call my own

Throw the window open

Let the breeze take me away

Ya' see I gotta lose this ol' heartache

Before the sun comes back to stay

I've been doin' my best to forget you

But I can't do it on my own

I need to dance with a stranger

Hold him in my arms

Close my eyes, make believe he's you

I need to dance with a stranger

Take my hurt away

Before I'm over you

Heard the city hummin'

Grab my shoes and go downtown

Won't need no invitation

Just to hear the sweet, sweet sound

And I don't want no man to ask me

"Where you been all my lonely life"

Just wanna move real slow

And have somebody hold me tight

Chorus

I hear the heart is lonely hunter

And I believe it to be true

But this heart is learning to forget

I ever fell in love with you

Chorus
