IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT
(Jerry Herman)

as recorded by Nancy Wilson
1968


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 him, I held him for an instant
But his arms felt sure, sure and strong.
It only, it only, only takes a moment
To be loved a whole life long.

You know I held him only for an instant,
But his arms, his arms felt sure and strong.
Oh-oh-oh, you know that it only, only, only takes a moment, just a moment
To be loved, to be loved,
To be loved, to be loved,
To be loved a whole life long!
