Hello Stranger by Ginger Foutley

Hello stranger, you came just in time

I look for your face in a crowd, or in line

Hello stranger, not a moment too soon

See that old picture is fading in the drawer of my room

Now toys have gone lost, baby teeth have come loose

There were accidents involving stitches, spilled juice

Report cards were shown, and one time I got sick

But it's nothing I couldn't catch you up on real quick

Hello stranger, I saved you a place, and it hardly seems strange

Now that l've seen your face...
