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
