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...
I missed a few words back there, Mr Jackl. 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!
