Garrett Lewis, Marilynn Lovell & Hello, Dolly! Ensemble (London) (1965) it only takes a moment

If it please the court
I have somthing I'd like to say
I'll go slowly
So you can get it all down
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...
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!
