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 I missed it, do you mind? I came in 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
