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
