Jerry Herman - It Only Takes A Moment lyrics

[CORNELIUS, spoken] If it pleases the court, I have something to say. Oh, I'll go slowly, so you can get it all down! (sung) 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, spoken] I missed a few words back there, Mr Hackl. Right after "it only" [ALL] ...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- [IRENE] 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 [IRENE] And we'll recall When time runs out [CORNELIUS & IRENE] That it only took a moment To be loved a whole life long!
