Cornelius:
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:
I missed a few words back there, Mr Jackl
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
Mrs. Molloy:
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
Mrs. Molloy:
And we'll recall when time runs out
Both:
That it only took a moment
To be loved a whole life long!
