Suddenly
VALJEAN
Suddenly you're here,
Suddenly it starts
Can two anxious hearts
Beat as one?
Yesterday I was alone
Today you walk beside me,
Something still unclear,
Something not yet here
Has begun
Suddenly the world
Seems a different place
Somehow full of grace,
Full of light.
How was I to know that so much hope
Was held inside me?
What is past is gone,
Now we journey on through the night
How was I to know at last
That happiness can come so fast?
Trusting me the way you do
I'm so afraid of failing you
Just a child who cannot know
That danger follows where I go
There are shadows everywhere
Nevermore alone
Nevermore apart
You have warmed my heart
Like the sun.
You have brought the gift of life
And love, so long denied me.
Suddenly I see
What I could not see
Something suddenly
Has begun.
