Suddenly
Solveig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I look in the mirror
Smiling eyes, I can't conceal how my heart is brimming over
We're surrounded by the darkness
Though there's a distant star
It's a bit miraculous because here you are
Suddenly the worlds upside down
Suddenly I'm feeling so high
I could almost cry
Suddenly I'm breaking the spell
No more hiding in my shell
Suddenly I'm all out of doubt
Wanna shout it out
Aaaah, aaaah
Love is contagious
Like a day ends ring
When the sun gleams in the rain
Destiny has had it's say
Let this moment remain
'Cause I love the spell I'm under
All that I'm thinking of is me and you
And what we do
I think I'm deep in love
Suddenly the worlds upside down
New adventures all around
Suddenly I'm feeling so high
I could almost cry
Suddenly I'm breaking the spell
No more hiding in my shell
Suddenly I'm all out of doubt
Wanna shout it out
Aaaah, aaaah
Aaaah
Look in the mirror
Suddenly the worlds upside down
New adventures all around
Suddenly I'm feeling so high
I could almost cry
Suddenly I'm breaking the spell
No more hiding in my shell
Suddenly I'm all out of doubt
Wanna shout it out
Suddenly the worlds upside down
New adventures all around
Suddenly I'm feeling so high
I could almost cry
Suddenly I'm breaking the spell
No more hiding in my shell
Suddenly I'm all out of doubt
Wanna shout it out
Suddenly the worlds upside down
New adventures all around
Suddenly I'm feeling so high
I could almost cry
Suddenly I'm breaking the spell

I'm surprised that so many people remember this film despite it not being released again since 2001 as far as I know. Unlike WB and Disney films I mean. Well deserved, this film is a little gem after all ^^
