Suddenly

(male vocalist)

Verse One:

I never noticed you before
Even though you live next door
I've been round the whole wide world
In search of the right girl
Now I don't need to search any more

Chorus:

Suddenly it's clear to me
My eyes have opened and I can see
Suddenly everything is real
For the first time my heart can feel
Do you feel it too
Tell me you do
Suddenly all I need is you

Verse Two:

I guess we might have said hello
A couple of times or so
Maybe something about
The sun not coming out
But that's as far as we would go

Chorus:

Suddenly it's clear to me
My eyes have opened and I can see
Suddenly everything is real
For the first time my heart can feel
Do you feel it too
Tell me you do
Suddenly all I need is you

Bridge:

I look at you and wonder
What was wrong with me
It was clear as crystal
As loud as thunder
Yet somehow I did not see

But something's changed, gone is the mist
That settled into my life
Now I see colors
I didn't know exist
I've never felt so alive

Chorus:

Suddenly it's clear to me
My eyes have opened and I can see
Suddenly everything is real
For the first time my heart can feel
Suddenly it's clear to me
My eyes have opened and I can see
Suddenly everything is real
For the first time my heart can feel
Do you feel it too
Tell me you do
Suddenly suddenly suddenly
All I need is you
