Suddenly

Suddenly you're 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
Full of light

How was I to know
That so much hope
Was held inside me?
What is past 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
