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

It only takes a moment

For your eyes to meet and then

Your heart knows in a moment

You will never be alone again

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

I've heard it said

That love must grow

That to be sure

You must be slow

I saw you smile

And now I know

I'll listen to just my heart

That smile made me trust my heart

It only takes a moment to be loved

And that is all that love's about

And we recall when time runs out

That it only takes a moment

It only takes a moment to be loved

A whole life long
