View the lyrics
Suddenly the night was very still
Suddenly your touch became a thrill
And suddenly I knew I was part of you
And yet I told my heart, “Be still, be still”
Then suddenly your lips were kissing mine
Suddenly my world became divine
For when I looked around
Then I knew I’d found
Eternity with you so suddenly
Suddenly your lips were kissing mine
Suddenly my world became divine
For when I looked around
Then I knew I’d found
Eternity with you so suddenly
