  1. [Introducción]
    De repente, un extraño entró en mi vida
    Como me imaginé que era
    Comencé mis emociones corriendo gratis
    Oh, como las aguas en el mar

    [Verso]
    Mientras ella me miraba con una sonrisa tan sincera
    Mi corazón comenzó a cantar en una voz, estoy seguro de que podía escuchar
    Extendí la mano para un tierno beso amoroso
    Solo para descubrir que mi amor ni siquiera existía, oh cariño
    Entonces me di cuenta de que era solo un sueño
    La luz de las velas quema un rayo tan radiante
    Oh, cómo anhelé que este sueño se hiciera realidad
    Por solo un momento emocionante con alguien como tú
    Pero mientras estaba sentado allí con lágrimas cayendo de mis ojos
    Parecía soñar mil y un suspiros
    Sí, la esperanza pasaba con un ritmo lento e infeliz
    Y todo lo que hubo para mí fue el sabor más amargo
    Oh nena, extraño en mi vida, seguramente fue
    Extraño en mi vida, oh bebé
    Pero mientras estaba allí sentado, lágrimas caían de mis ojos
    El extraño en mi vida se acercó
    Honey se acercó a mí
    Y abrió mi mundo de soledad con un beso mágico

    [Outro]
    Extraño en mi vida, te digo que ella está tan bien
    Extraño en mi vida, ella es maravillosa
    Extraño en mi vida, diciéndole que está bien
    Extraño en mi vida

  2. Romantically Yours was the second posthumous release by American recording artist Marvin Gaye, also released by Columbia Records in 1985.
    Background
    Marvin Gaye died in April 1984, leaving behind two albums left on his contract with Columbia Records. In May 1985, Columbia issued the compilation album, Dream of a Lifetime, which performed modestly on the chart. A little over six months later, Columbia assembled tracks from Gaye's Motown period, mostly of traditional pop and vocal jazz tunes that Gaye had recorded in the 1960s and 1970s and named it "Romantically Yours".
    Recording
    Starting in 1968, Gaye had begun working on a pop vocal album with producer and arranger Bobby Scott. Among the songs they recorded were "Why Did I Choose You", "More", "Maria", "Fly Me To The Moon" and "I Won't Cry Anymore". Midway through recording, Gaye, depressed over personal issues and upset over his career, stopped recording sessions with Scott and wouldn't visit the work with Scott for over a decade.
    During the 1970s, Gaye revisited the studio and composed songs over a jazz setting, including "Just Like", "Walkin' in the Rain" and "Stranger in My Life". The song "I Live For You" was originally recorded during sessions for Let's Get It On. Having revisited his Scott productions in the late 1970s, Gaye recorded several different versions of the song "The Shadow of Your Smile". In the version featured on Romantically Yours, Gaye sings in both tenor and falsetto. In addition to these songs, a song composed in the early 1960s by Eddie Holland and Norman Whitfield, "Happy Go Lucky", was also included.
    Most of the songs were reworked by Harvey Fuqua, who took credit for producing the album. The album was released in November 1985, intended for Gaye's fans, rather than for commercial assumption, which was the case of In Our Lifetime. With the release of Romantically Yours, Columbia completed Gaye's contract. In 1997, several of the songs featured in a different sound culled from the 1979 sessions of an album titled The Ballads, were included in the Motown compilation, Vulnerable.
