“Ten Minutes Ago” LYRICS
Prince:
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 her!
She’s an angel,
With the dust of the stars in her eyes!
We are dancing,
We are flying,
And she’s taking me back to the skies.
In the arms of my love, I’m flying
Over mountain and meadow and glen,
And I like it so well
That for all I can tell
I may never come down again!
I may never come down to earth again!
Cinderella:
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:
Prince:
I have found her!
She’s an angel,
With the dust of the stars in her eyes!
Cinderella:
We are dancing,
We are flying,
And he’s taking me back to the skies.
In the arms of my love I’m flying
Over mountain and meadow and glen,
And I like it so well
That for all I can tell
I may never come down again!
Both:
I may never come down to earth again!
