The secret way you hold my hold
To let me know you understand
The wind and rain upon your face
The breathless world of your embrace
Your little laugh and half-surprise
The starlight gleaming in your eyes
Remembering all those little things
All of a sudden my heart sings

All of a sudden my heart sings
When I remember little things
The way you dance and hold me tight
The way you kiss and say "Good night"
The crazy things we'd say and do
The fun it is to be with you
The magic thrill that's in your touch
Oh, darling, I love you so much!!

The secret way you hold my hold
To let me know you understand
The wind and rain upon your face
The breathless world of your embrace
Your little laugh and half-surprise
The starlight gleaming in your eyes
Remembering all those things
All of a sudden    my heart    sings


TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:  An unusual pattern is displayed herein.  The first verse 
can be called a
"reverse pyramid" in that each line begins a little lower on the scale than did its
predecessor, bottoming out at " All of a sudden my heart sings".  Then the second verse,
starting with " All of a sudden my heart sings" on the same exact note as verse one
ended. would be a "regular pyramid" in that each line begins a little higher on the
scale.  Verse three goes back to the reverse pyramid. Thoroughly confused already?  Hey,
you should see the sheet music!! I'm told Anka reversed the order in which the verses
were originally written!!!
