D
I saw you travellin in the north
Your smile so clean and young
G D
Standing tall and green and slender like a sunflower on the sun
D
We walked up to each other
You handed me a flower
G A
You asked me would I stay with you for a lifetime or an hour
D G D A Bm
Sudden love a sudden spark a memory burns
G D A D
The fire starts you stopped the dark
G D
When you came in sight
A G D G Em
You cut the darkness into light
D
Then one day it happened love plays its little game
G D
The air was green with jealousy it was the month of May
D
We hired out every extra to even up the cast
G A
I saw the curtain fallin down right across my past
D G D A
Sudden love can fall apart
Bm G D A D
When shadows fall across a heart you blew out the flame
G D A G D G D
When I turned to part you cut the light into the dark
instrumental
D
If it ever comes one is left behind
G D
Always the let the fact be known love is sometimes kind
D
Don't forget about the girl in the long blue dress
G
And the man who sang his song
A
That day that day when love was blessed
D G D A Bm G D A
Sudden love a sudden spark a memory flares up in the stars
D G D
You took the dark when you came in sight
A G D G
You cut the darkness into light
D A G D
You cut the darkness into light
