I vaguely remember some of the lyrics from an old song that dates back
to about the 1950s time frame. Do these lines sound familiar to
anyone?

4/4 Time

There once was a man, a married man,
Who couldn't see the danger,
Until one day, one fateful day,
Along came a tall dark stranger.

The film "Rachel and the Stranger" from 1948 has the tagline "REBEL BRIDE of
a man she never kissed! Pledged to share his home...but not privileged to
claim his love! Until one day...one fateful day...along came a Tall, Dark
Stranger!"

And the soundtrack includes a song "Tall, Dark Stranger" - Music by Roy
Webb, Lyrics by Waldo Salt.
So I'd start with that.
