Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Child and a fool in one
So sure I could need no one
My heart always on the run to nowhere
Now, as you're holding me
My heart is reminding me
Now I could never be without you
[PreChorus]
But how can our love succeed?
A miracle is what we need
And so I appeal to you
[Chorus]
To keep me suspended in time with you
Don't let this moment die
I get a feeling when I'm with you
None of the rules apply
But I know for certain goodbye is a crime
So love if you need me, suspend me in time
[Verse 2]
Wasted the time away
Holding our love at bay
Now I can't last a day without you
Your smile is a thrill to see
Eyes hold me tenderly
They'll shine in my memory forever
[PreChorus]
But how can our love succeed?
A miracle is what we need
And so I appeal to you
[Chorus]
To keep me suspended in time with you
Don't let this moment die
I get a feeling when I'm with you
None of the rules apply
But I know for certain goodbye is a crime
So love if you need me, suspend me in time
[Outro]
In time
