It Only Takes a Moment

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

Isn't the world full of wonderful things?

I have lost so many things, my job, my future

Everything that people think is important but I don't care

'Cause even if I have to dig ditches for the rest of my life

I should be a ditch digger who once had a wonderful day

Hey Mister, do you mind? I came late right after "It only..."

Takes a moment

But his arms felt sure and strong

It only takes a moment

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

And that is all that love's about

And we'll recall when time runs out

That it only took a moment

To be loved a whole life long
