Ten Minutes Ago
Brandy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Paolo Montalban:
Ten minutes ago I saw you
I looked up when you came through the door
My head started reeling
You gave me the feeling
The room had no ceiling or floor
Ten minutes ago I met you
And we murmured our how-do-you-do's
I wanted to ring out the bells
And fling out my arms and to sing out the news
I have found her, she's an angel
With the dust of the stars in her eyes
We are dancing, we are flying
And she's me back to the skies
In the arms of my love i'm flying
Over mountain and meadow and glen
And I like it so well, that for all I can tell
I may never come down again
I may never come down to earth again.

Brandy:
Ten minutes ago I met you
And we murmured our how-do-you-do's
I wanted to ring out the bells
And fling out my arms and to sing out the news

Paolo Montalban:
I have found her

Brandy:
I have found him

Brandy & Paolo Montalban:
In the arms of my love I'm flying
Over mountain and meadow and glen
And I like it so well
That for all I can tell




I may never come down again
I may never come down to earth again

Overall Meaning

"Ten Minutes Ago" is a duet from Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical "Cinderella" and has been performed by actors in various adaptations of the story. The song chronicles the moment when the Prince and Cinderella first meet and immediately feel a connection. The lyrics describe the feeling of being instantly swept away by someone's presence and the possibility of being taken to new heights with them. The references to flying and being lifted up suggest a sense of euphoria and a desire to escape the mundane. The repeated lines from both singers of "I have found her" and "I have found him" signify that they have finally found the one they have been searching for.


The song's simplicity and romanticism can be appealing to audiences of all ages, and the lyrics, while straightforward, capture the feeling of falling in love. The use of the word "angel" portrays the characters as almost supernatural, adding to the fairy tale-like quality of the scene. The line "With the dust of the stars in her eyes" implies that the woman is otherworldly, adding to the sense of wonder and magic in the lyrics.


Line by Line Meaning

Ten minutes ago I saw you
Just ten minutes before I laid eyes on you


I looked up when you came through the door
I lifted my head when you made your way into the room


My head started reeling
My mind began to spin


You gave me the feeling
You filled me with a certain emotion


The room had no ceiling or floor
The room, in that moment, felt limitless


Ten minutes ago I met you
Just ten minutes prior, I was introduced to you


And we murmured our how-do-you-do's
We exchanged polite greetings


I wanted to ring out the bells
I felt an overwhelming urge to make a grand announcement


And fling out my arms and to sing out the news
And to express my joy by throwing my arms out wide and singing loudly


I have found her, she's an angel
I have discovered a truly remarkable person; she's like an angel


With the dust of the stars in her eyes
Her eyes sparkle and shine like stardust


We are dancing, we are flying
We're so happy we're practically flying with joy


And she's me back to the skies
She's lifted me up and brought me to new heights of happiness and elation


In the arms of my love I'm flying
I'm filled with such joy and love that I feel like I'm soaring


Over mountain and meadow and glen
I feel like I could fly over any and all obstacles


And I like it so well, that for all I can tell
I feel so amazing, that it's possible I may never come back down to earth again


I may never come down to earth again
I'm so happy and in love, that it feels like I might never come back down to reality

Ten Minutes Ago I saw you, 
I looked up when you came through the door 
My head started reeling, You gave me the feeling 
the room had no ceiling or floor. 
Ten Minutes ago, I met you 
and we murmered our how-do-you do's, 
I wanted to ring out the bells and fling out my arms 
and to sing out the news. 
I have found her! She's an angel 
with the dust of the stars in her eyes. 
We are dancing, we are flying 
and she's taking me back to the skies. 
In the arms of my love I'm flying 
over mountain and meadow and glen 
And I like it so well that for all I can tell 
I may never come down again! I may never come down to earth again.

This is hands down the BEST version of this song. There is so much energy, passion, fun, joy, in this song. Their voices, their chemistry, the orchestra, the way it all moves together... the energy of this version of this song is off the charts.

"Why, if I were a younger man..."
"Yes, dear?"
" Well... I'd be younger wouldn't I?"
"Yes, dear"
