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 suddenmy heartsings

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!!!
