It Only Takes A Moment (from "Hello, Dolly!")

It Only Takes A Moment - Original London Cast Recordings

It only takes a moment

For your eyes to meet and then

Your heart knows in a moment

That you'll 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

Excuse me Mr Hackl

I missed a few words back there

Right after it only

Takes a moment

But his arms felt sure and strong

It only takes a moment

He held me for an instant

But his arms felt sure and strong

It only takes a moment

To be loved a whole life long

And that is all

That love's about

And we'll recall when time runs out

That it only took a moment

To be loved a whole life long
