Suddenly

Suddenly you are here
Suddenly it starts
Can two anxious hearts beat as one?
Yesterday I was alone
Today you walk beside me
Something still unclear
Something not yet here has begun

Suddenly the world
Seems a different place
Somehow full of grace and delight
How was I to know that so much hope was held inside me?
What has passed is gone
Now we journey on through the night

How was I to know at last that happiness can come so fast?
Trusting me the way you do
I’m so afraid of failing you
Just a child who cannot know that danger follows where I go
There are shadows everywhere
And memories I cannot share

Nevermore alone
Nevermore apart
You have warmed my heart like the sun
You have brought the gift of life
And love so long denied me

Suddenly I see
What I could not see
Something suddenly
Has begun
