Lyrics
All at once I knew I loved you
As I waited in the darkness for your call
As I thought of all that sadness in your eyes
All at once I was afraid to my surprise.
 
So afraid that I would lose you,
This was not what I had counted on at all.
Now I’m caught up in the certainty of fate,
Hope I haven’t been too foolish and too late.
 
Oh, my darling, forgive me for my blindness,
Those moments of unkindness, my cold indiff’rent air.
Now I’m waiting with such anticipation
To make my declaration
To say how much I care,
How deeply I care.
 
Ev’rybody has a feeling,
That a meeting with his one true love is near.
And I always knew that someday she’d [he’d] appear,
All at once I know it’s you.
 
Ev’rybody has a feeling,
That a meeting with his one true love is near.
And I always knew that someday she’d [he’d] appear,
All at once I know it’s you. 
ALL AT ONCE Italian lyric and music by Luigi Tenco, English lyric by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. (Vocal Score)
