Stranger to City

Going to the city as a tourist for day
Seeing all the big sights and devouring her meals
Wearing a sexy dress and her famous tall heels
She's engaged to her beau, the wedding is in May

Approached by a stranger for a tour of the town
Up in his black taxi, visiting obscure lanes
To gorgeous unknown sights, photographs of old trains
Seeing the old relics of a township's gold crown

Depositing at hotel, she offers to buy him drink
To reward him of cruise, through this amazing view
Unparalleled approach that she would not in shoe

Learning about his life, they had a common link
Both adopted as child to a caring household
Loved by a family with heart of solid gold.
