30 minute love affair All in the blink of an eye There you were standing there I heard an angel cry Runaway lover I soon discovered It was best when we left it I'll never forget it Our 30 minute love affair The city lead me out one night Through lonely streets and neon light Searching again I met a stranger singing songs Sat in that doorway I belonged With him Just talking. He was so beautiful there in my dreams I left my heart and my memories 30 minute love affair All in the blink of an eye There you were standing there I heard an angel cry Runaway lover I soon discovered It was best when we left it I'll never forget it Our 30 minute love affair He told me he'd be there tomorrow I knew where he led I would follow I flew And he knew When I went back he had disappeared My hopeful smile had turned to tears Let down No sight nor sound Sometimes it's better just to let them go Cause your illusion's more than what you could know 30 minute love affair All in the blink of an eye There you were standing there I heard an angel cry Runaway lover I soon discovered It was best when we left it I'll never forget it Our 30 minute love affair Falling from the sky for him I'll never Regret it He took my breath away And although it was the shortest time I'll never forget it He gave me such a beautiful lie Oh my 30 minute love affair All in the blink of an eye There you were standing there I heard an angel cry Runaway lover I soon discovered It was best when we left it Now I'll never forget it It was best when we left it Now I'll never forget it Our 30 minute love affair 30 minute love affair Our 30 minute love affair
