It Only Takes A Moment – Barbra Streisand (from “Hello, Dolly!” soundtrack)
By
[Cornelius:] 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. Hackl. Right after ‘it only’…
[All in docket:] …Takes a moment! 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!
