Eric Andersen - Sudden Love lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw you travelling in the North Your smile so clean and young Standing tall and green and slender Like a sunflower in the sun We walked up to each other You handed me a flower Asked me would I stay with you For a lifetime or an hour [Chorus] Sudden love A sudden spark A memory burns The fire starts You stopped the dark When you came in sight You cut the darkness Into light [Verse 2] Then one day it happened Love plays these little games The air was green with jealousy It was the month of May We hired out every extra To even up the cast I saw the curtain falling down Right across my past [Chorus] Sudden love Can fall apart When shadows fall Across your heart You blew out the flame When I turned to part You cut the light Into the dark [Verse 3] If it ever comes One is left behind Always let the fact be known Love is sometimes kind Don't forget about the girl In the long blue dress And the man who sang his song The day when love was blessed [Chorus] Sudden love A sudden spark A memory flares Up in the stars You took the dark When you came in sight You cut the darkness Into light You cut the darkness Into light
