Suddenly (Duet Version)

[Intro: Toni Braxton]

Mmm, mmm

Hey, yeah

[Verse 1: Richard Marx, Toni Braxton]

It only took a moment, a solitary glance

And I could hear the voice of rapture call

I've loved you from a distance, afraid to take a chance

But now, it seems I can't help but to fall

[Pre-Chorus 1: Toni Braxton]

Imagine my surprise

To open up my eyes

And find that you were looking back

[Chorus: Richard Marx, Toni Braxton, Both]

And suddenly, I cannot remember who I used to be

And like the rain, this yearning washes over me

And all the pain I knew before is gone

And suddenly, I'm no longer drifting on an empty sea

And now I know that I believe in destiny

And mine is waiting right here in your arms

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2: Richard Marx, Toni Braxton, Both]

I long to awake beside you and bathe in love's abyss

Washing all that's come before away

Ooh, and in that frozen moment, as I receive your kiss

There will not be words enough to say

[Pre-Chorus 2: Richard Marx, Toni Braxton]

I wanna make you melt

Touch you like no one else

And do it all again a thousand times

[Chorus: Richard Marx, Toni Braxton, Both]

And suddenly, I cannot remember who I used to be

And like the rain, this yearning washes over me

And all the pain I knew before has gone, yeah

And suddenly, I'm no longer drifting on an empty sea

And now I know that I believe in destiny

And mine is waiting right here in your arms

[Break: Richard Marx, Toni Braxton]

Oh, babe

Ooh, ooh (Yeah)

Ooh, da, doh, yeah, day

Na, na, na

[Bridge: Richard Marx, Toni Braxton]

I wanna make you melt, touch you like no one else

And do it all again a thousand times

[Chorus: Richard Marx, Toni Braxton, Both]

(Oh, suddenly)

And suddenly, I cannot remember who I used to be (Who I used to be, yeah)

And like the rain, this yearning washes over me

And all the pain I knew before is gone (All the pain I knew before has gone away)

(Ooh, baby, yeah)

And suddenly, I'm no longer drifting on an empty sea (I was drifting on an empty sea)

And now I know that I believe in destiny (Believe in destiny)

And mine is waiting right here, baby, in your arms

[Outro: Richard Marx, Toni Braxton, Both]

Ooh, ooh (Baby, yeah)

Mmm, mmm (Yeah, yeah)

In your arms
