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

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
