Ten minutes ago, I saw you
I looked up when you came through the door
My head started reeling
You gave me the feeling
The room had no ceiling or floor
Ten minutes ago, I met you
And we murmured our 'how do you do's?'
I wanted to ring out the bells
And fling out my arms
And to sing out the news
I have found him
He's an angel
With the dust of the stars in his eyes
We are dancing
We are flying
And he's taking me back to the sky
Will you share your life with me
For the next ten minutes?
For the next ten minutes
We can handle that
We could watch the waves
We could watch the sky
Or just sit and wait
As the time ticks by
And if we make it 'til then
Can I ask you again for another?
Ten minutes ago, I saw you
And if you in turn agree
To the next ten minutes
And the next ten minutes
'Til the morning comes
My head started reeling
Then just holding you
You gave me the feeling
Might compel me to
The room had no ceiling or floor (ask you for more)
There are so many lives I want to share with you
I may never come down (I will never come down to Earth again)
I am not always on time
Please don't expect that from me
Ten minutes ago
I will be late, but if you can just wait, I will make it eventually
Ten minutes ago
Not like it's in my control
Not like I'm proud of the fact
But anything other than being exactly on time I can do
I have found her
She's an angel
With the dust of the stars in her eyes (with the dust of the stars in his eyes)
We are dancing (we are flying)
And she's taking me back to the sky (and he's taking me back to the sky)
Ten minutes ago
For the next ten minutes
Ten minutes ago
For the next ten minutes
I wanted to ring out the bells
Knowing I had a long, full life
And fling out my arms (in your arms)
That I can do
Ten minutes ago (forever with you)
Will you share your life with me (ten minutes ago)
For the next ten lifetimes? (Forever)
For a million summers
'Til the world explodes
'Til there's no one left
Who has ever known us apart
There are so many dreams I need to see with you
There are so many years I need to be with you
I will never be complete
I will never be alive
I may never come down to Earth again
Again
Again
Again
Again
