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

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 me for an instant
But his arms felt sure and strong
It only takes a moment
To be loved a whole life long

(Instrumental)

And that is all that love's about
And we'll recall when time runs out
How it only took a moment
To be loved
To be loved
To be loved a whole life long"
