The Next Ten Minutes Ago

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 ask you for more

The room had no ceiling or floor

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
