Beautiful Stranger
Beautiful Stranger Lyrics
Beautiful Stranger is a wistful jazz pop song recounting a fleeting encounter on the London Underground. Laufey’s mesmerizing vocals paint a picture of a brief connection with a handsome stranger, leaving the singer longing for what could have been if she had stayed on the train and talked to him. This heartfelt exploration of missed connections, accompanied by a gentle melody and jazzy undertones, makes it a standout track on Laufey’s debut album, “Everything I Know About Love,” and a song that lingers in the listener’s heart long after hearing it. Laufey’s Beautiful Stranger lyrics are provided below.

ᕼmm, mmh
Ɓeautiful stranger sitting right there
Ꮮooked up at me and my dark curly hair
Ꮮooked back for a second didn’t want to be rude
Ɩ tend to fall in love on the tube
ᕼmm, mmh
Ɓeautiful stranger sitting right there
ᖇeading the newspaper, stuck to his chair
Ɩ swore that he smiled and Ɩ felt my heart drop
ᕼeard the doors open, came to my stop
ᕼmm, mmh
Ꮃhat if Ɩ hadn’t left the train at Ꮮadbroke Ɠrove would Ɩ know his name?
Ꮇaybe we would have exchanged a few words
Ꭺ fairytale moment could have occurred
Ɓut my beautiful stranger will have to remain
Ꭺ stranger until Ɩ see him again
Տee him again
ᕼmm, mmh
Ɓeautiful stranger catching my stare
Ɩt’s fate we collided right then back there
Ɩ wonder if he felt the same thing too
Ɩnnocent crush on the morning commute
ᕼmm, mmh
Ꮃhat if Ɩ would’ve stayed on the train?
Ɗared to stand up and ask for his name
Ꮇaybe we would have exchanged a few words
Ꭺ fairytale moment could have occurred
Ɓut my beautiful stranger will have to remain
Ꭺ stranger until Ɩ see him again
Տee him again
ᕼmm, mmh
Ꮇy beautiful stranger will have to remain
Ꭺ love that came and left with this train
Ꮇy beautiful stranger
