Frank Sinatra made the song “Strangers in the Night” popular and it remains a classic still today. However, times have changed and as much as Ol’ Blue Eyes sings about how wonderful it is that they have met and that they will no longer be strangers these days you can never be too careful. So I have come up with a more modern version of this song. Let me know what you think.
Strangers in the night carefully looking over each other
Wondering who the terrorist might be
Perhaps it could be but chances are slim
that we could make it through the night
Something in your eyes was so alarming
Something in your smile so threatening
Something in my heart told me that I must flee
Strangers in the night
Two strangers not trusting one another
making the moment so exciting
our fight was just a moment away
Ever since that night
I have been so careful
strangers make enemies at first sight
at least I survived that night
Dooby-dooby-doo

I am now singing the song. I love it. And your poem was great. I am always cautious of strangers.
i sang it out loud to the tune, it fits pretty well a couple of bridges but works!
The reality of strangers is one that I wonder. I do know for example that in the 1960s a young woman died because no one would come out of their apartments to help her as she screamed (stabbed over and over0.
I know that the modern world presents many terrors.
But shouldn’t we always be nervous of strangers?
I’ll tell you Doc I agree we should always be nervous of strangers but growing up and being a young adult in the 1980s I did not really think twice about it. Now I would be afraid to go out at night.
when I was a kid, I left the house in the summer at 8 am. I didn’t come home until dinner for many days. I didn’t check-in, and I was always running around.
When i had kids, i knew or my wife knew where they were every minute.
you are so right, it is a different world!
You’re right. Nowadays we have distrust of each other. Sometimes thinking one of us is a terrorist. Again we can be neighbors for many years but still strangers. We barely know each other’s names.
