Lost to a Stranger Lyrics

By Ricky Skaggs
We went out one evenin', my darlin' and I
She seemed so different and I wondered why
We stopped at a tavern and there I could see
That she loved another one better than me
The band was playin' an old fashioned waltz
The dance floor was crowded and I wasn't long
When up stepped a stranger, I never had seen
He asked my darlin': "Will you dance with me?
Bridge:
While they were dancin', I sat alone
I knew I had lost her, the one I loved
Lost to a stranger I never had seen
The waltz they were playin' had ended my dream
Instrumental break
Repeat Bridge
