Moment in time, just for a while

The face lighted up so I could see the smile

Following her, hidden by dark

The night's not enough to keep us apart



Forbidden love, but I get near

Tense and confused

don't know what I fear

"I love you", she said

follow me through

and I'll find a way to get out of here



Chorus:



She was, she was to me

a butterfly, slipping into blue sky

She was, she was to me

a refugee running away with me



I'm happy now, though she has flown

into the world she calls her own

on a warm wind, carried away

not to be kept

she was not to stay



Chorus
