The Mystery of Edwin Drood - Perfect Strangers Lyrics

2012 Broadway revival
The Mystery of Edwin Drood - Perfect Strangers Lyrics

The song is written by Rupert Holmes.

Rosa:
If we were perfect strangers,
How perfect life could be!

Drood:
I'd know if I adore you -
You'd know if you love me,
Too much we've seen together to judge
the view.

Rosa:
Too much we've been together...

Drood:
And I assumed the future -

Rosa:
And I presumed that you were there,
And yet I wondered where we met.

Drood:
If we were perfect strangers,
I'd find my way with ease.

Drood & Rosa:
I'd know the path before me, the forest
from the trees.

Drood:
Could life be real without you?
You're always there.

Rosa:
How do I feel about you?

Drood:
I care...

Rosa:
Too near to touch you!
My dearest Ned, how much you mean to me...

Drood:
But are we lovers, how would we know it?
How could we feel it?
How would we show it?

Rosa:
How much you've been to me!
Drood and Rosa:
If we were perfect strangers
I might have loved you perfectly...

[Thanks to Liza for lyrics]
