It Only Takes a Moment (from Hello, Dolly!)

If it please the court, I have something to say
 Oh, I'll go slowly, so you can get it all down
 It only takes a moment
 For your eyes to meet, and then
 Your heart knows in a moment
 That you'll 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
 "I missed a few words back there Mr. Hackl, right after it only..."
 ...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
 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
