- Lyrics:

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
