It Only Takes A Moment lyrics

Cornelius

It only takes a moment

For your eyes to meet and then

Your heart knows in a moment

You will never be alone again

I held her for an instant

But my arms felt sure and strong

It only takes a moment

To be loved a whole life long...

Clerk

I missed a few words back there, Mr Jackl. Right after 'it only'--

All

[in docket]

...Takes a moment!

For your eyes to meet and then

Your heart knows in a moment

You will never be alone again

He held her for an instant

But his arms felt sure and strong

It only takes a moment--

Mrs. Molloy

He held me for an instant

But his arms felt safe and strong

It only takes a moment

To be loved a whole life long

Cornelius

And that is all

That love's about

Mrs. Molloy

And we'll recall when time runs out

Both

That it only took a moment

To be loved a whole life long!
