Lyrics:

[cornelius, Spoken]
if It Pleases The Court, I Have Something To Say. Oh, I'll Go Slowly, So You Can Get It All Down!

(Sung)
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, Spoken]
i Missed A Few Words Back There, Mr Hackl. Right After 'it Only'

[all]
...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-

[irene]
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

[irene]
and We'll Recall
when Time Runs Out

[cornelius & Irene]
that It Only Took A Moment
to Be Loved A Whole Life Long!
