All Of A Sudden
Matt Monro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now we know it
We stood still as the days moved along
Love was ours but our eyes didn't show it
Suddenly we can see we were wrong
All of a sudden this world's yours and mine
All of a sudden water tastes like wine
All of a sudden everything
Let's not talk of all the times we've been lonely
But let us speak of the times we will know
From today I will live for you only
Wish I'd said all these things long ago
All of a sudden this world's yours and mine
All of a sudden water tastes like wine
Now every moment there are songs to sing
All of a sudden everything
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
The song All of a Sudden by Matt Monro is a classic love song that speaks of two people who were once clueless about their feelings for each other, but have now come to the realization of their love. The song tells a story of two people who were foolish and never expressed their love despite having it. However, now they are wiser and have come to acknowledge their feelings for each other. The lyrics beautifully convey the emotion of regret that comes with not having expressed one's feelings for another person.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the sudden turn of events, where two people who were once indifferent to each other's presence, are now deeply in love. The metaphor of water tasting like wine is used to describe the sudden realization of love, and how every moment now feels like a song that needs to be sung. The song is, therefore, a celebration of love, of the beauty and joy that comes with being in love.
The second verse is a plea to forget the times they felt lonely and to focus on the future together. The lyrics express a sense of regret and a wish that they had spoken their hearts out earlier. All of a sudden has an upbeat melody, powerful vocals from Matt Monro, and heartfelt lyrics that continue to resonate with romantic audiences decades after its release.

Dear Mr. Mat Monro, you have always made us happy with these beautiful pieces of yours and your unique interpretation and beautiful voice. Thank you very much for that. When these beautiful pieces were performed by you in a unique way, I had just started primary school in 1968, when I was 5.5 years old. I am still listening to these beautifully interpreted pieces of yours. May your land be plentiful. Sleep peacefully. From Turkey with love..

The man with the golden voice was well named...no other voice carried the warmth and feeling of the lad from Shoreditch. A man with little ambition who became world famous and who's star continues to rise in 2022 when most of his peers have fallen by the wayside. A singer for the ages.

Definitely. My Grandfather Arthur used enjoy listening to his music.
Sung born free on a Karaoke night in Ashton Lancashire. I'm 3 octave bass baritone. Had a standing ovation. God bless to my Grandad.

I was feeling down and I felt telepathically to find and listen to this song! It lifted my spirits as though my husband that passed 4 yrs ago after 60 yrs together had written it for me! Thank you, how I loved him!

Every single time I listen to this man's God given genius tones I am lost for words and the hairs on the back of my neck stand to attention. There's nobody like him and there never will be. God Bless you mate!.
