Suddenly
Ocean Billy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to think that love was just a fairy tale
Until that first hello until that first smile
But if I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing
Cause this love is everlasting

Suddenly life has new meaning to me
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of
You wake up and suddenly you're in love

Girl, you're everything a man could want and more
One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside
Holding hands as we walk along the shore
Never felt like this before now you're all I'm living for

Suddenly life has new meaning to me
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of
You wake up and suddenly you're in love

Each day I pray this love affair would last forever (ohh, ohh)

Suddenly life has new meaning to me
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of
You wake up suddenly you're in love





Ohh there's beauty up above and things you never take notice of
You wake up and suddenly you're in love (ohh)

Line by Line Meaning

I used to think that love was just a fairy tale
Before, I had perceived love as an impossible storybook story


Until that first hello until that first smile
But that changed when I met you and experienced your first greeting and smile


But if I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing
Even if given the chance to redo everything, I wouldn't alter any of the events that brought us together


Cause this love is everlasting
Because our love is undying and timeless


Suddenly life has new meaning to me
Since you entered my life, everything has taken on a new significance


There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of
I realize that there's much more beauty in the world than I previously noticed or appreciated


You wake up suddenly you're in love
We woke up one day and found ourselves head over heels in love with each other


Girl you're everything a man could want and more
You embody everything that a man could desire and more


One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside
No amount of words could express the depth of my feelings for you


Holding hands as we walk along the shore
We take pleasure in walking by the shore hand-in-hand


Never felt like this before now you're all I'm living for
I've never experienced such strong emotions before and now, you're all that matters to me


Each day I pray this love affair would last forever
I constantly pray that our love will continue forever

I used to think that love was just a fairy tale

Until that first hello
Until that first smile.
But if I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause this love is everlasting.

Suddenly - life has new meaning to me.
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of

You wake up and suddenly you're in love.

Girl
You're everything a man could want and more.
One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside.
Holding hands as we walk along the shore

Never felt like this before
Now you're all I'm living for.
Suddenly - life has new meaning to me...

Each day I pray this love affair would last forever.
Suddenly - life has new meaning to me...
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of

You wake up and suddenly you're in love.
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of

You wake up and suddenly you're in love.

While walking home, I met Billy at a petrol station in Heston Middlesex. He had broken down and recognising him, I asked if he'd be kind enough to give me his autograph... From between a £5 and a £10 note, I offered him the £5 to sign. He laughed saying his signature must be worth a ten.... A really good bloke, down to earth and one if our finest .... Thanks Billy...I still have your autograph 35 years later...
