IT ONLY TOOK A MINUTE 
Joe Brown & The Bruvvers - 1962


It took a hundred years to make that old tree grow
And there beside that tree, I learned to love you so
It took a hundred years of sunshine before that old tree grew
But it only took a minute baby to fall in love with you
It didn’t take a lifetime to make my dreams come true
No – it only took a minute baby to fall in love with you

It took a million stars to make that starlight shine
And underneath those stars one night I made you mine
It took a million stars a-twinkling to light that sky of blue
But it only took a minute baby to fall in love with you

Didn’t take a lifetime to make my dreams come true
No – it only took a minute baby to fall in love with you
Yeah – it only took a minute baby to fall in love with you
