[Intro]
D  D/F# G  A
DI saw you travellin in the north
Your smile so clean and young
Standing Gtall and green and slender like a Dsunflower on the sun
DWe walked up to each other
You handed me a flower
GYou asked me would I stay with you for a Alifetime or an hour
Sudden Dlove Ga sudden Dspark Aa memory bBmurns
GThe fire Dstarts Ayou stopped the Ddark
GWhen you came in Dsight
You cut the AdarkGness into DlightG  Em  
DThen one day it happened love plays its little game
GThe air was green with jealousy Dit was the month of May
DWe hired out every extra to even up the cast
GI saw the curtain fallin down Aright across my past
Sudden Dlove Gcan fall aDparAt
When shadows Bmfall Gacross a Dheart Ayou blew out the Dflame
GWhen I turned to Dpart you cut the lAight Ginto the DdarkG  D  
DIf it ever comes one is left behind
GAlways the let the fact be known Dlove is sometimes kind
DDon't forget about the girl in the long blue dress
GAnd the man who sang his song
That day Athat day when love was blessed
Sudden Dlove Ga sudden Dspark Aa memory Bmflares Gup in the DstarsA  
You took the Ddark Gwhen you came in Dsight
You cut the AdarkneGss into liDghtG  
You cut the DdarknAess Ginto Dlight
