Suddenly
You're making sense of what you see
Then suddenly
You're finding ways on your two feet
Then you're counting down the days
Til St. Nich's sleigh
Comes to your house
And you convince yourself
It'll be an eternity
Til suddenly
Nothing ever happens til it does
Nothing's ever here until it's gone
Nothing ever is until it was
Nothing ever seems like much
Til suddenly
He's making sense of what he sees
And suddenly
He's moving on from hands and knees
Then he's counting down the days
Til St. Nich's sleigh
Comes to your house
And he believes
It'll be an eternity
Til suddenly
Nothing ever happens til it does
Nothing's ever here until it's gone
Nothing ever is until it was
Nothing ever seems like much
Til suddenly
You can't make sense of what you see
And suddenly
They tell your family to hit their knees
Then they're counting down the days
Til the angels carry you away
You're going home
This whole life always seems so long
Til suddenly
