lyrics

I closed my eyes for a second
Go within - explore a bit
Such a clean cut mind for a sinner

Love was just the game
I longed to play - participate
I found myself right in it for a minute

And when the sun came out to play
I was in it -
In my life the dark clouds stay
For a minute -
And then it’s bye-bye … bye-bye

Oh, if I open up my eyes
Take a peek - dive in deep
Rummage ‘round inside for a minute

If it rains on my parade
I go indoors - mind the storm
Atmosphere will change in a minute

And when the sun came out to play
I was in it -
In my life the dark clouds stay
For a minute -
Such a clean cut life
For a sinner-
This normality could change
Any minute … and then it’s bye-bye

Ooh … in a minute
Ooh … in a minute

And when the sun came out to play
I was in it -
In my life the dark clouds stay
For a minute -
Such a clean-cut life
For a sinner-
This normality could change
Any minute … and then it’s bye-bye

In a minute - in a minute … in a minute … in a minute
In a minute
