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!
