D  D/F# G  A

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

instrumental

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
