Lyrics Johnny Mathis

Johnny Mathis

Sudden Love

I saw you travellin in the north

Your smile so clean and young

Standing tall and green and slender like a sunflower on the sun

We walked up to each other

You handed me a flower

You asked me would I stay with you for a lifetime or an hour

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

Then one day it happened love plays its little game

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 fallin down right across my past

Sudden love can fall apart

When shadows fall across a heart you blew out the flame

When I turned to part you cut the light into the dark

If it ever comes one is left behind

Always the 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

That day that day when love was blessed

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
