Learn the words of the following song.

Strangers in the Night

Writer(s): Kaempfert/Singleton/Snyder

 

Strangers in the night exchanging glances

Wondering in the night

What were the chances we'd be sharing love

Before the night was through.

 

Something in your eyes was so inviting,

Something in you smile was so exciting,

Something in my heart,

Told me I must have you.

 

Strangers in the night, two lonely people

We were strangers in the night

Up to the moment

When we said our first hello.

Little did we know

Love was just a glance away,

A warm embracing dance away and

 

Ever since that night we've been together.

Lovers at first sight, in love forever.

It turned out so right,

For strangers in the night.

warn – предупреждать

prohibit – запрещать

accused – обвиняемый

 

b. «Sir, do you swear this is not your signature?» – said the lawyer. «Yes».

«Is it not your handwriting?»

«No».

«You take your solemn oath that this writing does not resemble yours in a single particular?»

«Yes».

«How can you be certain?» demanded the lawyer.

«I can't write», smiled the man.
