Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
It was just another very uneventful
Ordinary morning, in old New York
It was just another grayish, punch the clock
And work-a-day-ish morning in old New York
Spring and love were miles away
Skies above were blurred
Spring and love were miles away
When this charming accident occurred
Refrain:
Suddenly it happened to me
Suddenly a thrill went through me
Suddenly that something drew me
Into your arms
Suddenly the strangest feeling
Suddenly the room was reeling
Suddenly the floor and ceiling
Fell for your charms
I don’t remember the time of day
Or if we spoke of the weather
The hurdy gurdies began to play
Zwei Herzen got together
Suddenly with no pretending
Suddenly our lips were blending
Suddenly the happy ending
Happened to come true
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
