Lyrics

NEVER A STRANGER TO ME
(Champeaux and Cowherd)
Old friend
We’ve been friends for life
Fearless forever
For keeps
We're kids at play on a summers day
The Ohio sun a Cleveland street
Hide and go seek under an endless blue sky
Those miles of blue our guarantee
I knew you before the stars shared their shine
You Were Never a Stranger to Me
You showed me the signs of the ties that bind
You always let the innocence remain
You never let me believe that tired old line
That all these small towns look the same
Streetlights come on it’ll be dark in a while
But it's quiet now the suburb's asleep
I knew you before the stars shared their shine
You Were Never a Stranger to Me
So some still say you can never go home again
But you'll always feel like home to me
Because we're the same kind
They're right when they say time’s a subtle friend
She'll give you eyes to see
But still leave you blind
I'll always recall our endless blue sky
The Ohio sun the Cleveland street
I knew you before the stars shared their shine
You Were Never a Stranger to Me
