“Suddenly” is a song from the fourth episode of Schmigadoon!
Taking after love epiphany/confession numbers like “Something Good” and “Till There Was You”, the song features Jorge and Emma confessing their feelings to Schmigadoon outsiders Melissa and Josh, respectively.
[JORGE]
Suddenly I find myself forgetting
All the things that bounce around my brain
Suddenly I want to plan a wedding
Although I know that's perfectly insane
There's no sense in trying to explain it
What and where and why and when and how
All I know is suddenly I love you
And suddenly that's all that matters now
[EMMA]
Suddenly it seems I'm not the teacher
And there's so much more for me to learn
Suddenly I want to call a preacher
And that's the sort of thought I used to spurn
There's no sense in trying to explain it
What and where and why and when and how
All I know is suddenly I love you
And suddenly that's all that matters now
(Dance break)
[JORGE AND EMMA]
There's no sense in trying to explain it
What and where and why and when and how
All I know is suddenly I love you
And suddenly that's all that matters now
Suddenly was written by Cinco Paul.
Suddenly was produced by Douglas Besterman & Scott M. Riesett.
The Cast of Schmigadoon! released Suddenly on Fri Jul 30 2021.
